Abstract

The activity of caspase-2 was examined under varying biochemical conditions with the synthetic and protein substrates, Bid and procaspase-7. The results indicate that it was largely influenced by pH which might be one reason behind the inconsistency for the cleavage of its established substrates during caspase-2-induced apoptosis.

Keywords: Caspase-2, caspase-8, pH, salt, Bid, procaspase-7
