Ready-to-use ELISA kits are available for the detection of Cryopyrin, an alias of the protein, NLR family pyrin domain containing 3. The official gene symbol is NLRP3. The kits can detect several species variants of the protein, including: human, mouse, rat, and bovine. The protein, with a mass of 118.2 kDa and length of 1036 residues, is reported to be cytoplasmic, nuclear and secreted. It is a member of the NLRP family and may be known by other names, including: cold-induced autoinflammatory syndrome 1 protein, cold autoinflammatory syndrome 1 protein, PYRIN-containing APAF1-like protein 1, NACHT LRR and PYD containing protein 3, and NACHT LRR and PYD domains-containing protein 3, and cryopyrin NACHT LRR and PYD domains - containing protein 3.
