An inflammasome is a pro-inflammatory protein complex that is formed after stimulation of the intracellular NOD-like receptors. Production of an active caspase in the complex processes cytokine pro-polypeptides into active cytokines.
El inflammasoma es un complejo proteico proinflamatorio que se forma después de la estimulación de los receptores tipo NOD intracelulares. La producción de una caspasa activa en el complejo procesa las proproteínas de citoquinas en citoquinas activas.
