Several proteins containing a NACHT module were found to have anti-phage activity. NACHT modules are also found in metazoans, where they play a role in innate immunity.
bNacht systems have some similarities with other defense systems:

## Molecular mechanism
Bacterial NACHT module-containing proteins (bNACHT) encompass a C-terminal sensor, a central NACHT module, and N-terminal effector modules. The N-terminal effectors associated with bNACHT proteins are diverse, and include domains that have been previously described to be involved in other defense systems {doi=10.1016/j.cell.2023.04.015}
