Therapeutic Target Details
| Target ID: | T10 |
| Target Name: | Caspase-1 |
| Synonyms: | CASP-1; ICE; IL-1 beta-converting enzyme; IL-1BC; IL1BC; IL1BCE; Interleukin-1 beta convertase; Interleukin-1 beta-converting enzyme; p45; CASP1 |
| GENE: | CASP1 |
| Action: | inhibitor |
| Class: | Enzyme |
| UniProtKB ID: | P29466 |
| Entry Name: | CASP1_HUMAN |
| Related Drugs: | Emricasan |
| Mechanism: | Intervention with a caspase-1 inhibitor attenuated the development of NASH, liver fibrosis and insulin resistance. Data support the importance of inflammasome/caspase-1 in the development of NASH and demonstrate that therapeutic intervention in the already ongoing disease process is feasible. |
