GlossaryCaspase-7 (CASP7)

enzyme involved in programmed cell death (apoptosis)

Caspase-7, also known as CASP7, is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the process of apoptosis, which is the programmed cell death essential for maintaining healthy tissue and organ function. It is part of a family of proteases that, when activated, can break down cellular components, leading to the orderly and efficient removal of damaged or unnecessary cells. This process is vital for development, immune system function, and preventing diseases such as cancer.
