inflammasome

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.13333
High-molecular-weight complex that activates inflammatory caspases and the cytokines interleukin-1$\ce{\upbeta\!}$ ($\ce{IL\mbox{-}1\upbeta\!}$) and IL-18.
Note: There appear to be at least three types of inflammasomes. Those identified initially were the NALP1 inflammasome, the NALP3 (cryopyrin) inflammasome, and the interleukin-(IL-)1β converting enzyme (ICE) protease-activating factor (IPAF) inflammasome.
