Background

Caspases are a family of cytosolic aspartate-specific cysteine proteases involved in the initiation and execution of apoptosis. Caspase-6 is a major apoptotic executioner (1,2). It exists as a pro-domain protein and is cleaved by caspase-3 into two active subunits, an 18 kDa and a 10 kDa subunit (3). Caspase-6 cleaves among many different intracellular proteins, nuclear lamins. Lamins play a significant role in maintaining the integrity of the cell membrane, and their cleavage results in subsequent cellular breakdown and death (4).
