Metacaspases are
members of the C14
class of
cysteine proteases and thus
related to caspases,
orthocaspases and paracaspases. The
metacaspases are...

caspases than
metacaspases are,
indicating that this
group of
proteases diverged from
caspases from a
common metacaspase ancestor. [citation needed]...

Orthocaspases is a sub-class in the C14
family of
cysteine proteases.
Similar to
metacaspases and paracaspases, the
orthocaspases cleave their protein substrates after...

Homology searches revealed a

cysteine protease caspase-1. In eukaryotes, a
plant serpin inhibits both
metacaspases and a papain-like
cysteine protease. Non-inhibitory
extracellular serpins...
