Rabbit Anti-NALP6 (NACHT, LRR and PYD Domains-containing Protein 6, PYRIN-containing APAF1-like Protein 5, NLRP6, PYPAF5)

NALP proteins include the apoptosis regulator APAF1 (apoptotic protease activating factor 1) and mammalian NOD-LRR proteins and are thought to be involved in inflammation and reproduction. NALP6, also known as PYPAF5, is highly expressed in granulocytes and T cells and colocalizes with the PYRIN-CARD protein ASC. Co-expression of NALP6 with ASC results in a synergistic activation of NF-kB and activated caspase-1-dependent cytokine processing, suggesting that NALP6 functions in immune cells to coordinate the transduction of pro-inflammatory signals.

Applications
