Which caspase is uniquely associated with the initiation of the extrinsic pathway?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Caspase-8
Caspase-8 is the primary initiator caspase for the extrinsic pathway, activated by the Death Inducing Signaling Complex (DISC). Caspase-9, by contrast, is the initiator for the intrinsic pathway.
