Function
May function as an inducer of apoptosis. Interacts selectively with ASC and this complex may function as an upstream activator of NF-kappa-B signaling. Inhibits TNF-alpha induced activation and nuclear translocation of RELA/NF-KB p65. Also inhibits transcriptional activity of RELA (By similarity). Activates caspase-1 as part of the NALP3 inflammasome complex in response to a number of triggers including bacterial or viral infection which leads to processing and release of IL1B and IL18.
Specificity
Natural and recombinant Mouse NACHT, LRR and PYD domains-containing protein 3
Interacts with PYCARD/ASC. Part of the NALP3 inflammasome complex which is involved in activation of caspase-1 and caspase-5, leading to processing of IL1B and IL18.
