What is the function of a caspase?

Caspases, also known as cysteine-aspartic proteases are a family or cysteine proteases that play an essential role in apoptosis, necrosis and inflammation. Capsases are essential in cells for apoptosis.


What are the two main brush border proteases?

The two main brush border proteases are aminopeptidase N and dipeptidase. They are enzymes located on the surface of the small intestine's villi and are responsible for breaking down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids for absorption.


What occurs in the cell during apoptosis?

cell suicide. The cell destroys it self with lysosomes.


Does membrane ruffling cause apoptosis?

Membrane ruffling is not directly involved in apoptosis. Membrane ruffling is a dynamic process where the cell membrane undergoes waves of protrusions and retractions, often associated with cell movement and migration. Apoptosis is a programmed cell death process controlled by specific signaling pathways within the cell.


Where is protease released?

Proteases are currently classified into six broad groups: Serine proteases Threonine proteases Cysteine proteases Aspartate proteases Metalloproteases Glutamic acid proteases. Quote, please, which type of protease are you referring to ?


Whether chemotherapy causes cell death by degeneration or apoptosis?

apoptosis


Why don't proteases act on gut walls and digest?

It is because proteases work only on proteins.


Does breakdown and absorptions involve the stomach?

The Stomach contains some enzymes (Proteases) involved in digestion. however, the main functions of the stomach are to kill harmful bacteria and through the highly acidic environment of the stomach, break bonds between molecules of food. The foods in question are often proteins.


What is the function of the mitochaondria?

In addition to supplying cellular energy, mitochondria are involved in a range of other processes, such as cell signaling, cellular differentiation, apoptosis, as well as the control of the cell cycle and cell growth.

Cell death caused by perforin and granzymes is caused by?

Perforin creates pores in the target cell membrane, allowing entry of granzymes. Granzymes are proteases that induce cell death by activating enzymes in the target cell that trigger apoptosis, ultimately leading to cell death.


What is pepstatin?

Pepstatin A is an inhibitor of acid proteases (aspartyl peptidases). It forms a 1:1 complex with proteases such as pepsin, renin, cathepsin D, bovine chymosin, and protease B (Aspergillus niger). The inhibitor is highly selective and does not inhibit thiol proteases, neutral proteases or serine proteases. Solublized Beta-secretase and retroviral protease are also inhibited by Pepstatin A. It has been used to characterize proteases from several sources. Pepstatin A is thought to inhibit by a collected-substrate inhibition mechanism.
