Summary: Enables Pyrin domain binding activity and cysteine-type endopeptidase activity. Involved in self proteolysis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including embryonic viscerocranium morphogenesis; innate immune response; and pyroptosis. Part of inflammasome complex. Is expressed in several structures, including digestive system; heart; hematopoietic system; integument; and male organism. Orthologous to human CASP1 (caspase 1) and CASP4 (caspase 4).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
