Facts about NACHT, LRR and PYD domains-containing protein 9B.
Recruitment of proCASP1 into the inflammasome promotes its activation and CASP1-catalyzed IL1B and IL18 maturation and release in the extracellular milieu. The active cytokines stimulate inflammatory reactions.

Predominantly expressed in the intestine, including proximal and distal colon, cecum, ileum, jejunum and duodenum (at protein level) (PubMed:26411641, PubMed:28636595). In the ileum, expressed in epithelial cells (PubMed:28636595). Also expressed in oocytes at all follicular stages and in preimplantation embryos (at protein level) (PubMed:15317747, PubMed:26411641). Although expression decreases in preimplantation embryos, it is still detectable in blastocyts (PubMed:26411641).
