NALP1 belongs to a family of cytoplasmic proteins that have been implicated in cell responses to apoptotic and inflammatory stimuli (1). It contains a caspase recruitment domain (CARD) in addition to a NACHT domain and leucine rich repeat (LRR). This protein interacts strongly with caspase 2 and weakly with caspase 9, as well as with Apaf-1 (2). Transient overexpression of this gene in cultured cells was sufficient to induce apoptosis (3). NALP1 mRNA and protein expression levels in myeloid leukemia cells are increased following CREB (cAMP-response element binding protein) activation, suggesting that NALP1 may contribute to modulate the response of these cells to pro-inflammatory stimuli (4). Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for NALP1 (3).Synonyms: Caspase recruitment domain-containing protein 7, DEFCAP, Death effector filament-forming ced-4-like apoptosis protein, KIAA0926, LRR and PYD domains-containing protein 1, NAC, NACHT, NALP1, Nucleotide-binding domain and caspase recruitment domain
