NLRC4 - NLR family CARD domain containing 4 Gene
Also Known as CLAN; IPAF; AIFEC; CLAN1; CLANA; CLANB; CLANC; CLAND; FCAS4; CARD12; CLR2.1
Species: Homo sapiens
About NLRC4
This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 154 orthologues, 7 paralogues and is associated with 4 phenotypes. Broad expression in appendix (RPKM 5.7), bone marrow (RPKM 3.2) and 17 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the Caspase recruitment domain-containing NLR family. Family members play essential roles in innate immune response to a wide range of pathogenic organisms, tissue damage and Other cellular stresses. Mutations in this gene result in autoinflammation with infantile enterocolitis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014]
