Protein Name :

Caspase-14

Molecular Weight :

27680 MW

Protein Function :

Non-apoptotic caspase involved in epidermal differentiation. Is the predominant caspase in epidermal stratum corneum (PubMed:15556625). Seems to play a role in keratinocyte differentiation and is required for cornification. Regulates maturation of the epidermis by proteolytically processing filaggrin (By similarity). In vitro has a preference for the substate [WY]-X-X-D motif and is active on the synthetic caspase substrate WEHD-ACF (PubMed:16854378, PubMed:19960512). Involved in processing of prosaposin in the epidermis (By similarity). May be involved in retinal pigment epithelium cell barrier function (PubMed:25121097). Involved in DNA degradation in differentiated keratinocytes probably by cleaving DFFA/ICAD leading to liberation of DFFB/CAD (PubMed:24743736).

Subcellular Localization :

Cytoplasm. Nucleus.

Tissue Specificity :

Expressed in keratinocytes of adult skin suprabasal layers (from spinous layers to the stratum granulosum and stratum corneum) (at protein level). Expressed in keratinocytes of hair shaft and sebaceous glands (at protein level). In psoriatic skin only expressed at very low levels (PubMed:11175259). The p17/10 mature form is expressed in epidermis stratum corneum, the p20/p8 intermediate form in epidermis upper granular cells of the stratum granulosum (PubMed:22825846).

Recommended Detection Systems :

Boster recommends Enhanced Chemiluminescent Kit with anti-Rabbit IgG (EK1002) for Western blot, and HRP Conjugated anti-Rabbit IgG Super Vision Assay Kit (SV0002-1) for IHC(P).

Background :

Caspase 14 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CASP14 gene. CASP14 belongs the evolutionarily conserved caspase family. CASP14 was assigned to chromosome 19p13.1. Using Northern blot and semiquantitative RT-PCR analyses, it was showed that CASP14 was transcriptionally upregulated during maintenance of confluent cultures of human epidermal keratinocytes. The expression and processing of this caspase may be involved in keratinocyte terminal differentiation, which is important for the formation of the skin barrier. Caspase 14 seems to play a role in keratinocyte differentiation and cornification and probably regulates maturation of the epidermis by proteolytically processing filaggrin.
