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 substrate [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). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O89094, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15301553, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15556625, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16854378, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19960512, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22825846, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24743736, ECO:0000305|PubMed:25121097}. |Peptidase C14| |cysteine-type endopeptidase activity involved in apoptotic process| |intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in response to DNA damage| |cysteine-type endopeptidase activity| |keratin filament| |cornification| |intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway| |keratinization| |keratinocyte differentiation| |apoptotic signaling pathway| |epidermal cell differentiation| |skin development| |epidermis development| |epithelial cell differentiation| |cellular response to DNA damage stimulus| |apoptotic process| |programmed cell death| |cell death| |epithelium development| |mitochondrion| |proteolysis| |intracellular signal transduction| |cellular response to stress| |tissue development| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp69|Deguelin 0.05μM R02 exp69]]|1.73| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
