    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    NALP1 Antibody detects endogenous levels of total NALP1 protein. This antibody also detects a 70 kDa protein that correlates with a predicted short form (NALP1s) that lacks the leucine repeat region (7).

    Species Reactivity:

    Human, Mouse, Rat

    The antigen sequence used to produce this antibody shares 100% sequence homology with the species listed here, but reactivity has not been tested or confirmed to work by CST. Use of this product with these species is not covered under our Product Performance Guarantee.

    Species predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology:

    Monkey

    Source / Purification

    Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide that corresponds to a region surrounding Gly1081 of human NALP1 protein. Antibodies were purified by peptide affinity chromatography.

    Background

    NALP1 (DEFCAP/NAC/CARD7) is an NLR (Nod-like receptor) family member that has been implicated in the regulation of apoptosis and inflammatory responses (1-5). Structurally, NALP contains an amino-terminal PYRIN domain, followed by a nucleotide-binding site (NBS), a leucine-rich repeat region (LRR), and a carboxy-terminal CARD domain. NALP1 interacts strongly with caspase-2 and weakly with caspase-9, and induces apoptosis when overexpressed (3). Similar to a related Ced-4 family member Apaf-1, it was also shown to be involved in cytochrome c-dependent caspase activation (2). It has also been shown to be part of the "inflammasome" comprised of caspase-1, caspase-5, and Pycard/ASC, which is critical in the processing of pro-inflammatory cytokines like IL-1β (6). Two major isoforms were identified for NALP1, which differ in a 44 amino acid region within the LRR (3). In addition, like NALP3, a short NALP1 isoform lacking the LRR (NALP1s) likely exists (7). Polymorphisms in NALP1 have been associated with autoimmune diseases (8) and susceptibility to toxins (9).
