(*) Twelve of these proteins have been found in humans, and they are divided into initiator and effector varieties.
A 2007 paper used decoy molecules like ICEBERG and c-FLIP to support the theory that these proteins play a role in the regulation of cell differentiation and proliferation. Two of these proteins are produced by the NALP1 gene and activate an inflammatory cytokine which can cause vitiligo. One of these proteins is also known as apopain or YAMA and has only a single cleavage site, whereas most of them have two. (*) Twelve of these proteins have been found in humans, and they are divided into initiator and effector varieties. They can target PARP and lamins as well as activating DNAses that cause the fragmentation of DNA, while their namesake cascade can be activated by death receptors. For 10 points, name these proteins which play a role in apoptosis, whose name is short for cysteine-aspartic proteases.
