abstract：:Caspase-3-related DEVDase activity is initiated upon apoptosis in unfertilized starfish eggs. In this study, we cloned a starfish procaspase-3 corresponding to mammalian effector caspase containing a CARD that is similar to the amino terminal CARD of mammalian capsase-9, and we named it procaspase-3/9. Recombinant pro...
