“…Since NLRP1 was first described to form the inflammasome in 2002 (Martinon et al, ), members of the NLR family (NLRP1, NLRP3, and NLRC4) as well as other proteins (AIM2, pyrin) have been confirmed to initiate formation of inflammasomes (Broz & Dixit, ; Mathur et al, ). There are also other less well‐characterized PRRs, such as NLRP2, NLRP6, NLRP7, NLRP9b, NLRP12, IFN‐γ‐inducible protein 16 (IFI16), and retinoic acid‐inducible gene I (RIG‐I; also known as DDX58) which have also been reported to activate caspase‐1 (Broz & Monack, ; von Moltke et al, ; Broz & Dixit, ; Man & Kanneganti, ).…”
