Moderate to strong cytoplasmic and/or membranous immunoreactivity was exhibited in colorectal cancers along with several gastric, pancreatic, testicular and liver cancers. Remaining cncer tissues were in general weakly stained or negative.
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the NALP protein family. Members of the NALP protein family typically contain a NACHT domain, a NACHT-associated domain (NAD), a C-terminal leucine-rich repeat (LRR) region, and an N-terminal pyrin domain (PYD). This protein may play a regulatory role in the innate immune system as similar family members belong to the signal-induced multiprotein complex, the inflammasome, that activates the pro-inflammatory caspases, caspase-1 and caspase-5.
