ASC (apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (caspase recruitment domain)) is a 22 kDa soluble protein, located in the cytosol of HL-60 cells. In apoptotic HL-60 cells, it is able to visualized as a speck, forming an insoluble aggregate. The C-terminal domain of this protein contains a CARD, suggesting that ASC may have proapoptotic activity in HL-60 cells. Recent data have indicated that ASC plays a role of adaptor protein linking various PAAD (Pyrin, AIM, ASC, and death domain-like) family proteins to pathways involved in NF-κB and procaspase-1 activation.Synonyms: Caspase recruitment domain-containing protein 5, PYD and CARD domain-containing protein, TMS1, Target of methylation-induced silencing 1, poptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD
