Recombinant human ICEBERG (Ice-Binding Epidermal Growth Factor-like Repeat-containing protein) is a synthetic form of a naturally occurring protein derived from the caspase-1 (ICE, interleukin-1β-converting enzyme) pathway. Discovered in 2000. ICEBERG is a 22 kDa protein encoded by an alternative splice variant of the *CASP1* gene, sharing homology with caspase-1 but lacking catalytic activity due to critical residue deletions in its active site. It functions as a competitive inhibitor of caspase-1 by binding to the adaptor protein RIP2 (receptor-interacting protein kinase 2), blocking the assembly of the inflammasome complex and subsequent activation of caspase-1. This interaction suppresses the maturation of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18. implicating ICEBERG in modulating inflammatory and apoptotic responses.
Recombinant ICEBERG is typically produced in *E. coli* or mammalian expression systems, enabling studies on inflammasome regulation, sepsis, autoimmune disorders, and neuroinflammation. Its structural and functional properties make it a valuable tool for dissecting caspase-1-mediated pathways and exploring therapeutic strategies for diseases linked to dysregulated inflammation. Research continues to explore its potential as a biomarker or biologic agent in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer’s, and inflammatory bowel disease.
