Characterization of the responses of the caspase 2, 3, 6 and 8 genes to immune challenges and extracellular ATP stimulation in the Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus)
Abstract Background Caspases are a family of conserved intracellular cysteine-dependent aspartate-specific cysteine proteases that play important roles in regulating cell death and inflammation. Our previous study revealed the importance of the inflammatory caspase 1 gene in extracellular ATP-mediat...
