Intrinsic and Extrinsic pathways of caspase activation

Caspase 5 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CASP5 gene. This enzyme proteolytically cleaves other proteins at an aspartic acid residue, and belongs to a family of cysteine proteases called caspases. It is an inflammatory caspase, along with caspase 1, caspase 4 and the murine caspase 4 homolog caspase 11, and has a role in the immune system.
