NLRP3 polyclonal antibody

Cryopyrin interacts selectively with apoptosis-associated specklike protein containing a CARD domain (ASC). This complex may function as an upstream activator of NFkB signaling and caspase-1 activation. The complex also inhibits TNFa induced activation and nuclear translocation of RelA/NFkB p65. Mutations in Cryopyrin and Pyrin proteins are responsible for several autoinflammatory disorders in humans, including familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome (FCAS), Muckle-Wells syndrome (MWS) and chronic infantile neurologic cutaneous and articular syndrome (CINCA).
