Anti-NALP7 NLRP7 Antibody

NOD proteins include the apoptosis regulator APAF1 (apoptotic protease activating factor 1) and mammalian NOD-LRR proteins. NALP7, also known as PYPAF3, a member of the related PYRIN-containing APAF1-like proteins (PYPAFs/NALPs) is thought to play a crucial role in cell proliferation. NALP7 has a C-terminal leucine-rich repeat (LRR) region, an N-terminal Pyrin domain (PYD) followed by a NACHT domain, and a NACHT-associated domain. It is expressed in numerous tissues including uterus and ovary, with low levels in heart and brain. NALP7 inhibits caspase-1-dependent interleukin-1β secretion and is a feedback regulator of interleukin-1β secretion. Defects in the NALP7 gene are known to cause the formation of a hydatidiform mole (HYDM) and reduce the growth of carcinoma cell lines.

NALP7 antibody was raised against an 18 amino acid synthetic peptide near the amino terminus of human NALP7. The immunogen is located within amino acids 90 - 140 of NALP7.
