Enables several functions, including identical protein binding activity; pattern recognition receptor activity; and signaling adaptor activity. Involved in several processes, including AIM2 inflammasome complex assembly; negative regulation of phosphatidylinosit
ol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction; and regulation of defense response. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to interferon-beta; positive regulation of inflammatory response; and protein maturation. Part of AIM2 inflammasome complex. Is active in cytoplasm; nucleus; and site of double-strand break. Is expressed in embryo. Orthologous to human AIM2 (absent in melanoma 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]
Enables cysteine-type endopeptidase activity. Involved in several processes, including AIM2 inflammasome complex assembly; positive regulation of canonical NF-kappaB signal transduction; and positive regulation of interleukin-1 beta production. Acts upstream of
or within several processes, including membrane hyperpolarization; mitochondrial depolarization; and positive regulation of cytokine production. Located in extracellular region. Part of IPAF inflammasome complex. Is active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including forelimb mesenchyme; knee joint; oocyte; small intestine; and telencephalon. Orthologous to human CASP1 (caspase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
Enables G protein activity and membrane destabilizing activity. Involved in several processes, including defense response to other organism; disruption of plasma membrane integrity in another organism; and positive regulation of defense response. Acts upstream of or within AIM2
00;'>AIM2 inflammasome complex assembly; non-canonical inflammasome complex assembly; and response to bacterium. Is active in symbiont cell surface. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]
