There are several forms of inflammasomes,all of which are multiprotein complexes that form in the cytosol of cells in response to stimuli related to infection,toxins,or cell stress.When they form,inflammasomes incorporate an inactive precursor of the enzyme caspase 1,which is proteolytically cleaved to form active caspase 1,which goes on to proteolytically cleave an inactive precursor of IL-1F1F1F1S1F1F1F10 to generate active IL-1F1F1F1S1F1F1F10.
