Potassium(1+) inhibits CASP1. 9 / 10
|
9
reach
"When eATP binds to the P2X7 receptor, intracellular potassium concentration decreases, causing caspase-1 to switch from being a protective agent involved in enhancing cell survival to being the source of a suicide pathway determining cell fate by pyroptosis [XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR]."
reach
"Addition of extracellular potassium or the reactive oxygen scavenger NAC, both of which can prevent activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, did not prevent activation of caspase-1 in response to infection with either the T3SS or the WT Yersinia strains (XREF_FIG and data not shown)."
