Guanylate-binding protein 5
Definition:
As an activator of NLRP3 inflammasome assembly, plays a role in innate immunity and inflammation. Promotes selective NLRP3 inflammasome assembly in response to microbial and soluble, but not crystalline, agents. Hydrolyzes GTP, but in contrast to other family members, does not produce GMP.
