The interactive graph below shows its immediate neighbors. All content is AI-synthesized from peer-reviewed literature.
A multi-protein complex that activates caspase-1-mediated inflammatory responses. The NLRP3 inflammasome is the best-characterized, consisting of NLRP3 sensor, ASC adaptor (PYCARD), and pro-caspase-1. Assembly triggers IL-1β and IL-18 maturation and pyroptotic cell death. NLRP3 inflammasome activation is driven by amyloid-β, α-synuclein, and tau aggregates in neurodegenerative diseases.
