Gene

Dcp-1

Protein

Caspase-1

Organism

Drosophila melanogaster

Length

323 amino acids

Function

Involved in the activation cascade of caspases responsible for apoptosis execution (By similarity). Proteolytically cleaves poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). Loss of zygotic DCP-1 function causes larval lethality and melanotic tumors.

Similarity

Belongs to the peptidase C14A family.
