Caspases are central effectors in apoptosis. In this investigation, a novel caspase gene
(designated as PjCaspase) obtained from the marine shrimp Marsupenaeus japonicus was …

Apoptosis is a fundamental cellular process that plays a critical role in normal development
and tissue homeostasis, eliminating from an organism unwanted cells, including damaged …

Apoptosis plays an important role in white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) pathogenesis, and
caspases are central players in apoptosis. Here, we cloned four novel caspases …

Apoptosis has long been observed in viral target organs of white-spot syndrome virus
(WSSV)-infected shrimp and whether the phenomenon helps the shrimp to survive the …

Caspases play a central and evolutionarily conserved role in mediating and executing
apoptosis. Here, we report the cloning and characterization of a caspase from Penaeus …

Caspase 3c (MrCasp3c) was sequenced from the freshwater giant prawn Macrobrachium
rosenbergii using Illumina Solexa Genome Analyzer Technique. MrCasp3c consisted of …

Apoptosis is a form of programmed cell death process controlled by a family of cysteine
proteases called caspases, which plays a crucial role in the immune system homeostasis …

Inhibitors of apoptosis (IAPs) play important roles in apoptosis and NF-κB activation. In this
study, we cloned and characterized three IAPs (LvIAP1-3) from the Pacific white shrimp …

Apoptosis system was reported to play important role in organism immunity, but it was a
currently understudied respect in molluscan immunity studies. Base on the recent …

Mammal caspases have been demonstrated to possess important functions in apoptosis
and immune signaling, but there is less knowledge available on abalone caspases. In the …
