Rabbit anti-Human NLRC4 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q9NPP4

Target Species

Human

Target Name

NLRC4

Target Full Name

NLR family CARD domain-containing protein 4

Target Function

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. The NLRC4 inflammasome is activated as part of the innate immune response to a range of intracellular bacteria.

Target Involvement

Autoinflammation with infantile enterocolitis (AIFEC); Familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome 4 (FCAS4)

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, cytosol. Inflammasome.

Target Tissue Specificity

Isoform 2 is expressed ubiquitously, although highly expressed in lung and spleen. Isoform 1 is highly expressed in lung, followed by leukocytes especially monocytes, lymph node, colon, brain, prostate, placenta, spleen, bone marrow and fetal liver. Isofo

Target Background

This gene encodes a member of the caspase recruitment domain-containing NLR family. 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.
