Rabbit polyclonal to ICEBERGA novel protein, ICEBERG, an inhibitor of pro-caspase 1activation, has been studied. It consists essentially only of a CARD, inhibits generation of IL-1b by interacting with caspase-1 and preventing association with RIP 2. The ICEBERG functions as a competitive antagonist of RIP 2/pro-caspase 1 interactions and inhibits caspase 1 dependent pro-L-1b secretion in mononuclear cells. ICEBERG is induced by proinflammatory stimuli, suggesting that it may be part of a negative feedback loop. |
