Did you mean Caspase?

GlossaryCaspase

enzymes that trigger cell death by cutting specific proteins

Caspases are a family of enzymes that play a crucial role in programmed cell death, also known as apoptosis. They act like molecular scissors, cutting specific proteins in the cell to trigger a cascade of events leading to cell dismantling and removal, which is essential for maintaining healthy tissue and organ function.
