text: The zymogens with longer prodomains, including caspase-8 and caspase-9, are activated first, and thus are called “initiator caspases,” while the zymogens with shorter prodomains, including caspase-3, subsequently activate DNase for DNA fragmentation, or active a host of cytoskeletal, cytosolic and nucleosomal proteins for cell death, and thus are called “executioner caspases” (Salvesen and Dixit, 1997; Villa et al., 1997; Hengartner, 2000; Larsen and Sorensen, 2017).
