Facts about NACHT, LRR and PYD domains-containing protein 1a.
Recruitment of proCASP1 to the inflammasome promotes its activation and CASP1- catalyzed IL1B and IL18 maturation and secretion in the extracellular milieu. Activation of NLRP1 inflammasome is also required for HMGB1 secretion.

Highly expressed in hematopoietic stem cells and progenitor cells of both myeloid and lymphoid origin (PubMed:23219391). The expression is highly strain-dependent. Not expressed in Balb/cJ animals, but widely expressed in C57BL/6J. Expressed in macrophages resistant to Bacillus anthracis lethal toxin, but not in toxin-sensitive macrophages, except in CAST/EiJ strain (PubMed:23506131).
