Cleaved Caspase-3 is an Activated Form of
Caspase-3. Caspases are a family of cysteine proteases that are key mediators
of programmed cell death or apoptosis. The precursor form of all caspases is
composed of a prodomain, and large and small catalytic subunits. The active
forms of caspases are generated by several stimuli including ligand-receptor
interactions, growth factor deprivation and inhibitors of cellular functions.

All known caspases require cleavage
adjacent to aspartates to liberate one large and one small subunit, which
associate into a2b2 tetramer to form the active enzyme. Gene for Caspase-3 also
known as Yama, CPP32, and apopain codes for a 32-kDa protein. The main
substrate of Caspase-3 is poly (ADP- ribose) polymerase PARP (ADP-ribose) which
is related to DNA repair and gene integrity monitoring. When apoptosis is
initiated, Caspase-3 is activated by cleavage of Asp-28/Ser-29 (between
N-terminal prodomains) and Asp-175/Ser-176 (between large subunit and small
subunit), resulting in a large subunit of 17kDa and a small subunit of 12kDa.
P17 and p12 dimerize to form cleaved caspase-3 in activated form.
