DescriptionFUNCTION: Key component of inflammasomes that indirectly senses specific proteins from pathogenic bacteria and fungi and responds by assembling an inflammasome complex that promotes caspase-1 activation, cytokine production and macrophage pyroptosis . The NLRC4 inflammasome is activated as part of the innate immune response to a range of intracellular bacteria (By similarity). .
