Figure 1From: A comprehensive characterization of the caspase gene family in insects from the order LepidopteraApoptotic pathway in mammals, Drosophila and Lepidoptera. Homologs of caspases and caspase regulators across species are indicated by the same color. Initiator and effector caspases are colored in blue and red respectively. The death receptor is colored in grey, the adaptor protein in orange, the protein forming the apoptosome in yellow, the apoptotic inducers in purple, and the caspase inhibitors in brown.Back to article page
