Name | NLRP2 |
---|---|
Synonyms | NALP2, NBS1, PAN1, PYPAF2 |
Function | Suppresses TNF- and CD40-induced NFKB1 activity at the level of the IKK complex, by inhibiting NFKBIA degradation induced by TNF. When associated with PYCARD, activates CASP1, leading to the secretion of mature pro-inflammatory cytokine IL1B. May be a component of the inflammasome, a protein complex which also includes PYCARD, CARD8 and CASP1 and whose function would be the activation of pro-inflammatory caspases. |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm |
Tissue Location | Expressed at high levels in lung, placenta and thymus and at lower levels in ovary, intestine and brain (PubMed:15456791). Highly abundant in oocytes and early embryos, however poorly expressed in somatic tissues such as brain, kidney, liver and spinal cord (PubMed:30877238). |

Background
NALP2 Antibody: NALP2 belongs to a family of cytoplasmic proteins that have been implicated in cell responses to apoptotic and inflammatory stimuli. Unlike the prototypical NALP protein NALP1, NALP2 only contains a NACHT domain, leucine rich repeat (LRR), and pyrin-containing domain (PYD). This protein interacts with the adapter protein ASC in addition to CARD8 and caspase-1 to form an inflammasome with high proIL-1β-processing activity and is thought to function as a modulator of NF-κB and procaspase-1 activation in macrophages. It has also been suggested that NALP2, in addition to other NALP family members, can act as innate sensors of pathogens in a manner similar to the toll-like receptors (TLRs). At least two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for NALP2.
