Q945

The enzyme involved in apoptosis

A.
Telomerase
B.
Caspases
Answer
C.
Chaperons
D.
Cellulases

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
The enzyme involved in apoptosis is Caspases.
Apoptosis is mediated by proteolytic enzymes called caspases, which trigger cell death by cleaving specific proteins in the cytoplasm and nucleus.
Caspases exist in all cells as inactive precursors, or procaspases, which are usually activated by cleavage by other caspases, producing a proteolytic caspase cascade.
