IAP Family
The IAP family consists of intracellular proteins that regulate apoptosis, ubiquitination and immune signalling. Through their BIR domains and RING ligase activity, IAPs control caspase inhibition, NF‑κB activation, inflammasome signalling and tumour cell survival, making them central players in cell biology and cancer research.
NAIP
NAIP is a pattern‑recognition receptor that detects bacterial ligands such as flagellin and type III secretion system proteins. By recruiting NLRC4 to form the NAIP–NLRC4 inflammasome, NAIP activates caspase‑1, triggers pyroptosis and drives early innate immune defence against intracellular pathogens.
