Facts about NACHT, LRR and PYD domains-containing protein 1b allele 2.
Recruitment of proCASP1 into 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.
