Did you mean Caspase-1?

GlossaryCaspase-1

enzyme activating inflammatory cytokines and inducing cell death

Caspase-1, also known as Interleukin-1 converting enzyme (ICE), is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the inflammatory response by activating pro-inflammatory cytokines like interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-18 (IL-18). It is also involved in a form of programmed cell death called pyroptosis, which helps the body fight infections by eliminating infected cells.
