physiological function | caspase-10 negatively regulates caspase-8-mediated cell death. Caspase-10 reduces death-inducing signaling complex DISC association and activation of caspase-8. Caspase-10 does not compete with caspase-8 for binding to adaptor protein FADD. Caspase-8 is required upstream of both regulator cFLIP and caspase-10 and DISC formation critically depends on the scaffold function of caspase-8. Caspase-10 rewires DISC signaling to NF-kappaB activation/cell survival and the catalytic activity of caspase-10, and caspase-8, is redundant in gene induction | Homo sapiens |
