NLRP3 is highly expressed in macrophages and as a component of the inflammasomes in which it functions to detect products of damaged cells and subsequently activates itself to trigger an immune response. Mutations in the NLRP3 has been shown in studies to be associated with a wide spectrum of dominantly inherited autoimmune diseases. This kit has been developed to recognize rat NLRP3.\u003cbr\u003e\nREACH authorisation\u003cbr\u003e\nAbcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nShipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage conditions-+4°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions-+4°C, Storage information-+4°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementary Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.\u003cbr\u003e\nNLRP3 also known as NALP3 or cryopyrin is a protein important for the inflammatory response. It is a component of the inflammasome which senses pathogenic microorganisms and stress. NLRP3 weighs around 118 kDa and is widely expressed in innate immune cells particularly macrophages and dendritic cells. Researchers often use techniques such as 'NLRP3 WB' (Western blot) and 'NLRP3 immunofluorescence' to study NLRP3 expression and localization.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nNLRP3 is central to the body’s defense mechanism by participating in forming the inflammasome complex which activates caspase-1. This activation leads to the cleavage of pro-inflammatory cytokines like IL-1β and IL-18 into their active forms. NLRP3's function is essential for mounting an effective immune response to infections and damage signals. It senses a range of stimuli including crystalline substances and cellular stress triggering an immune response. Its expression is tightly regulated to prevent excessive inflammation.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nThe NLRP3 inflammasome is key in the innate immune response and inflammation pathways. It links cellular stress signals to inflammation through the activation of caspase-1 which is important for the IL-1 signaling pathway. NLRP3 interacts with other proteins like ASC (apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD) to form the inflammasome complex which is a core part of the inflammatory signaling pathways and links innate and adaptive immunity.\u003cbr\u003e\nNLRP3 has a significant role in inflammatory diseases and is linked to conditions like cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS) and gout. Mutations or dysregulation of NLRP3 lead to hyperactivation resulting in autoimmune and autoinflammatory conditions. NLRP3's interaction with IL-1 contributes to the excessive inflammatory response seen in these disorders. Understanding NLRP3's function in these pathways can inform therapeutic approaches targeting chronic inflammatory diseases.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843559248041,"sku":"ab277086","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab277086","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
