Caspase-13 (also designated Evolutionarily related interleukin-1beta converting enzyme ; ERICE) involved in the activation cascade of caspases responsible for apoptosis execution. Might function by either activating some proteins required for cell death or inactivating proteins necessary for cell survival. [subunit] Heterodimer of a small and a large subunit. The two subunits are derived from the precursor sequence by an autocatalytic mechanism or by cleavage by Caspase-8. Mainly expressed in peripheral blood lymphocytes, spleen and placenta. Belongs to peptidase family C14.
