NACHT LRR and PYD domains-containing protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NLRP1 gene.This gene encodes a member of the Ced-4 family of apoptosis proteins. Ced-family members contain a caspase recruitment domain (CARD) and are known to be key mediators of programmed cell death. The encoded protein contains a distinct N-terminal pyrin-like motif which is possibly involved in protein-protein interactions.
