About Casp1

Chromosome 9: 5,298,508-5,307,290 forward strand.GRCm39:CM001002.3

This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 456 orthologues, 11 paralogues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Biased expression in large intestine adult (RPKM 7.4), bladder adult (RPKM 2.2) and 13 other tissues.

Summary

Enables cysteine-type endopeptidase activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of I-kappaB kinase/NF-kappaB signaling; positive regulation of interleukin-1 beta production; and protein autoprocessing. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including membrane hyperpolarization; mitochondrial depolarization; and positive regulation of interleukin-1 alpha production. Located in extracellular region. Part of IPAF inflammasome complex. Is expressed in knee joint and metanephros. Orthologous to human CASP1 (Caspase 1).
