• Target description: NACHT, LRR and PYD domains-containing protein 3 (UniProt: Q96P20; also known as Angiotensin/vasopressin receptor AII/AVP-like, Caterpiller protein 1.1, CLR1.1, Cold-induced autoinflammatory syndrome 1 protein, Cryopyrin, PYRIN-containing APAF1-like protein 1, NLRP3) is encoded by the NLRP3 (also known as C1orf7, CIAS1, NALP3, PYPAF1) gene (Gene ID: 114548) in human. NLRP3 serves as the sensor component of the NLRP3 inflammasome and plays a crucial role in innate immunity and inflammation. It is predominantly expressed in macrophages and its expression is also observed in dendritic cells, B- and T-cells, and in lung epithelial cells. NLRP3 can be induced by activators of Toll-like receptors, bacterial lipopolysaccharides, and by TNF. In response to pathogens and other damage-associated signals, it initiates the formation of the inflammasome polymeric complex that is composed of NLRP3, PYCARD and CASP1. Recruitment of proCASP1 to the inflammasome is shown to promote its activation and CASP1-catalyzed IL-1B and IL-18 maturation and secretion in the extracellular milieu. Under resting conditions, NLRP3 is autoinhibited and it is activated in response to several signals, including extracellular ATP, reactive oxygen species, K+ efflux, crystals of monosodium urate or cholesterol, and amyloid-beta fibers. Independently of inflammasome activation, it is reported to regulate the differentiation of T helper 2 (Th2) cells and is shown to play a role in Th2 cell-dependent asthma and tumor growth. NLRP3 undergoes polyubiquitination at lysine 48 and 63. However, this ubiquitination does not lead to its degradation, but inhibits inflammasome activation. This ZooMAb® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
