CAS 178603-78-6: interleukin-1B (1L-1B) converting*enzyme (ice) in
Description:Interleukin-1β converting enzyme (ICE), also known as caspase-1, is a crucial enzyme involved in the inflammatory response and the processing of pro-inflammatory cytokines. It plays a significant role in the activation of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-18 (IL-18), which are key mediators in immune responses. ICE is a cysteine protease that belongs to the caspase family, characterized by its ability to cleave specific peptide bonds in target proteins, leading to their activation or inactivation. The enzyme is typically found in the cytoplasm and is activated in response to various stimuli, including pathogen-associated molecular patterns. Dysregulation of ICE activity has been implicated in several inflammatory diseases, making it a target for therapeutic intervention. The CAS number 178603-78-6 specifically identifies a compound related to ICE, which may be used in research or drug development contexts. Overall, ICE is essential for maintaining immune homeostasis and mediating inflammatory processes.
