Dppa4 | Developmental pluripotency-associated protein 4; May be involved in the maintenance of active epigenetic status of target genes. May inhibit differentiation of embryonic stem (ES) cells into a primitive ectoderm lineage. (296 aa) | ||||
Nlrp1b | NACHT, LRR and PYD domains-containing protein 1b allele 2; As the sensor component of the NLRP1 inflammasome, plays a crucial role in innate immunity and inflammation. In response to pathogens and other damage-associated signals, initiates the formation of the inflammasome polymeric complex, made of Nlrp1b, CASP1, and possibly PYCARD. Recruitment of proCASP1 to the inflammasome promotes its activation and CASP1-catalyzed IL1B and IL18 maturation and secretion in the extracellular milieu. Activation of NLRP1 inflammasome is also required for HMGB1 secretion. The active cytokines and HMG [...] (1177 aa) |
