Family members play essential roles in innate immune response to a wide range of pathogenic organisms, tissue damage and other cellular stresses. Mutations in this gene result in autoinflammation with infantile enterocolitis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014]. * **UniProt Summary**: Key component of inflammasomes that indirectly senses specific proteins from pathogenic bacteria and fungi and responds by assembling an inflammasome complex that promotes caspase-1 activation, cytokine production and macrophage pyroptosis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15107016}. |CARD| |NACHT| |IPAF inflammasome complex| |interleukin-1 beta secretion| |pyroptosis| |interleukin-1 secretion| |detection of bacterium| |detection of other organism| |interleukin-1 beta production| |interleukin-1 production| |detection of external biotic stimulus| |detection of biotic stimulus| |cytokine secretion| |activation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity involved in apoptotic process| |positive regulation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity involved in apoptotic process| |cytokine production| |positive regulation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity| |positive regulation of NF-kappaB transcription factor activity| |protein secretion| |establishment of protein localization to extracellular region| |protein localization to extracellular region| |positive regulation of endopeptidase activity| |peptide secretion| |positive regulation of peptidase activity| |magnesium ion binding| |regulation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity involved in apoptotic process| |regulation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity| |activation of innate immune response| |positive regulation of DNA-binding transcription factor activity| |defense response to bacterium| |protein homooligomerization| |positive regulation of innate immune response| |positive regulation of proteolysis| |positive regulation of response to biotic stimulus| |regulation of endopeptidase activity| |regulation of DNA-binding transcription factor activity| |regulation of peptidase activity| |regulation of innate immune response| |positive regulation of defense response| |inflammatory response| |positive regulation of multi-organism process| |protein complex oligomerization| |regulation of response to biotic stimulus| |positive regulation of response to external stimulus| |activation of immune response| |positive regulation of apoptotic process| |positive regulation of programmed cell death| |response to bacterium| |detection of stimulus| |positive regulation of cell death| |regulation of proteolysis| |regulation of defense response| |innate immune response| |positive regulation of hydrolase activity| |regulation of multi-organism process| |positive regulation of immune response| |protein homodimerization activity| |apoptotic process| |defense response to other organism| |secretion by cell| |export from cell| |programmed cell death| |identical protein binding| |cell death| |regulation of response to external stimulus| |secretion| |positive regulation of immune system process| |regulation of immune response| |regulation of hydrolase activity| |response to other organism| |response to external biotic stimulus| |response to biotic stimulus| |defense response| |positive regulation of catalytic activity| |regulation of response to stress| |ATP binding| |protein transport| |peptide transport| |regulation of apoptotic process| |protein-containing complex assembly| |regulation of programmed cell death| |amide transport| |positive regulation of cellular protein metabolic process| |establishment of protein localization| |regulation of immune system process| |regulation of cell death| |positive regulation of protein metabolic process| |positive regulation of molecular function| |nitrogen compound transport| |protein-containing complex subunit organization| |immune response| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp292|Menadione 5μM R06 exp292]]|-1.74| |[[:results:exp423|Zebularine 20μM R07 exp423]]|1.79| |[[:results:exp405|Tenofovir 10μM R07 exp405]]|2.18| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
