Metacaspases are
members of the C14
class of
cysteine proteases and thus
related to caspases,
orthocaspases and paracaspases. The
metacaspases are...

group of
proteases diverged from
caspases from a

Orthocaspases is a sub-class in the C14
family of
cysteine proteases.
Similar to
metacaspases and paracaspases, the
orthocaspases cleave their protein substrates after...

cysteine protease caspase-1. In eukaryotes, a
plant serpin inhibits both
metacaspases and a papain-like
cysteine protease. Non-inhibitory
