FUNCTION: Involved in the activation cascade of caspases responsible for apoptosis execution. Cleaves and activates sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs). Overexpression promotes programmed cell death (By similarity). CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Strict requirement for an Asp residue at position P1 and has a preferred cleavage sequence of Asp-Glu-Val- Asp-|-. SUBUNIT: Heterotetramer that consists of two anti-parallel arranged heterodimers, each one formed by a 20 kDa (p20) and a 11 kDa (p11) subunit. Interacts with BIRC6/bruce (By similarity). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Highly expressed in heart, lung, liver and kidney. Low levels in spleen, skeletal muscle and testis. No expression in the brain. PTM: Cleavages by granzyme B or caspase-10 generate the two active subunits. Propeptide domains can also be cleaved efficiently by caspase-3. Active heterodimers between the small subunit of caspase-7 and the large subunit of caspase-3, and vice versa, also occur (By similarity). SIMILARITY: Belongs to the peptidase C14A family.
