Function | Thiol protease that acts as a mediator of programmed cell death (PubMed:28314590, PubMed:29898893). Initiates pyroptosis, a programmed lytic cell death pathway through cleavage of Gasdermin-D (GSDMD): cleavage releases the N-terminal gasdermin moiety (Gasdermin- D, N-terminal) that binds to membranes and forms pores, triggering pyroptosis (PubMed:29898893). Also mediates cleavage and maturation of IL18 (PubMed:37993714). Cleavage of GSDMD and IL18 is not strictly dependent on the consensus cleavage site but depends on an exosite interface on CASP4 (PubMed:37993714). During non-canonical inflammasome activation, cuts CGAS and may play a role in the regulation of antiviral innate immune activation (PubMed:28314590). |
Tissue Location | Expressed in barely detectable amounts in most tissues except brain, highest levels being found in lung, liver and skeletal muscle. |
