Anti-Recombinant GSDMD, clone R06-5C5

GSDMD is a member of the gasdermin family. Members of this family appear to play a role in regulation of epithelial proliferation. GSDMD has been suggested to act as a tumor suppressor. Recently,GSDMD is identified as a new component of inflammasomes,and it is an executor of pyroptosis and required for interleukin-1beta secretion. Cleavage of GSDMD by inflammatory caspases determines pyroptotic cell death. Protein function: [Gasdermin-D]: Precursor of a pore-forming protein that plays a key role in host defense against pathogen infection and danger signals (PubMed:26375003, PubMed:26375259, PubMed:27281216). This form constitutes the precursor of the pore-forming protein: upon cleavage, the released N-terminal moiety (Gasdermin-D, N-terminal) binds to membranes and forms pores, triggering pyroptosis (PubMed:26375003, PubMed:26375259, PubMed:27281216).
