Immunogen | KLH conjugated synthetic peptide derived from human CARD12 |
Epitope Specificity | 401-500/1024 |
Isotype | IgG |
Purity | affinity purified by Protein A |
Buffer | 0.01M TBS (pH7.4) with 1% BSA, 0.02% Proclin300 and 50% Glycerol. |
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION | Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, cytosol. Note=Cytoplasmic filaments. |
SIMILARITY | Contains 1 CARD domain. Contains 14 LRR (leucine-rich) repeats. Contains 1 NACHT domain. |
SUBUNIT | Component of the NLRC4 inflammasome. Homooligomer. Interacts with ASC, pro-caspase-1, NOD2, BCL10 and NALP1 (NAC) by CARD-CARD interaction. Interacts with EIF2AK2/PKR. |
Post-translational modifications | Phosphorylated at Ser-533 following infection of macrophages with S.typhimurium (Salmonella). Phosphorylation is essential for NLRC4 inflammasome function to promote caspase-1 activation and pyroptosis. PRKCD phosphorylates Ser-533 in vitro. |

Background Descriptions | NLR family CARD domain-containing protein 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NLRC4 gene. NLRC4 is best associated with triggering formation of the inflammasome. Unlike NLRP3, certain inflammasome-dependent functions of NLRC4 may be carried out independently of the inflammasome scaffold ASC. Human Ced4 homologs include APAF1, NOD1 (CARD4), and NOD2 (CARD15). These proteins have at least 1 N-terminal CARD domain followed by a centrally located nucleotide-binding domain (NBD or NACHT) and a C-terminal regulatory domain, found only in mammals, that contains either WD40 repeats or leucine-rich repeats (LRRs). CARD12 is a member of the Ced4 family and can induce apoptosis. |

Other Names | NLR family CARD domain-containing protein 4, CARD, LRR, and NACHT-containing protein, Clan protein, Caspase recruitment domain-containing protein 12, Ice protease-activating factor, Ipaf, NLRC4, CARD12, CLAN, CLAN1, IPAF |
Target/Specificity | Isoform 2 is expressed ubiquitously, although highly expressed in lung and spleen. Isoform 1 is highly expressed in lung, followed by leukocytes especially monocytes, lymph node, colon, brain, prostate, placenta, spleen, bone marrow and fetal liver. Isoform 4 is only detected in brain. |

Storage | Store at -20 ℃ for one year. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. When reconstituted in sterile pH 7.4 0.01M PBS or diluent of antibody the antibody is stable for at least two weeks at 2-4 ℃. |
Name | NLRC4 |

Function | 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 (PubMed:15107016). The NLRC4 inflammasome is activated as part of the innate immune response to a range of intracellular bacteria (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, cytosol {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q3UP24}. Inflammasome |
Tissue Location | Isoform 2 is expressed ubiquitously, although highly expressed in lung and spleen. Isoform 1 is highly expressed in lung, followed by leukocytes especially monocytes, lymph node, colon, brain, prostate, placenta, spleen, bone marrow and fetal liver. Isoform 4 is only detected in brain |
