Caspase 14 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CASP14 gene.{{cite journal | vauthors = Van de Craen M, Van Loo G, Pype S, Van Criekinge W, Van den brande I, Molemans F, Fiers W, Declercq W, Vandenabeele P | title = Identification of a new caspase homologue: caspase-14 | journal = Cell Death Differ | volume = 5 | issue = 10 | pages = 838–46 |date=May 1999 | pmid = 10203698 | doi = 10.1038/sj.cdd.4400444 | doi-access = free }}{{cite journal | vauthors = Hu S, Snipas SJ, Vincenz C, Salvesen G, Dixit VM | title = Caspase-14 is a novel developmentally regulated protease | journal = J Biol Chem | volume = 273 | issue = 45 | pages = 29648–53 |date=Dec 1998 | pmid = 9792675 | doi =10.1074/jbc.273.45.29648 | doi-access = free }}{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: CASP14 caspase 14, apoptosis-related cysteine peptidase| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=23581}} Orthologs of this gene also exist in other mammals, such as sirenians and cetaceans, though they are inactivated in these two clades. Curiously, manatees, which are sirenians, retain some functional CASP14 genes.{{Cite journal |last1=Steinbinder |first1=Julia |last2=Sachslehner |first2=Attila Placido |last3=Holthaus |first3=Karin Brigit |last4=Eckhart |first4=Leopold |date=2024-04-23 |title=Comparative genomics of sirenians reveals evolution of filaggrin and caspase-14 upon adaptation of the epidermis to aquatic life |url=https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-60099-2 |journal=Scientific Reports |language=en |volume=14 |issue=1 |pages=9278 |doi=10.1038/s41598-024-60099-2 |issn=2045-2322 |pmc=11039687 |pmid=38653760}}

The CASP14 gene encodes a member of the cysteine-aspartic acid protease (caspase) family. Sequential activation of caspases plays a central role in the execution-phase of cell apoptosis. Caspases exist as inactive proenzymes which undergo proteolytic processing at conserved aspartic residues to produce two subunits, large and small, that dimerize to form the active enzyme. This caspase has been shown to be processed and activated by caspase 8 and caspase 10 in vitro, and by anti-Fas agonist antibody or TNF-related apoptosis inducing ligand in vivo. The expression and processing of this caspase may be involved in keratinocyte terminal differentiation, which is important for the formation of the skin barrier.
