NLRP6 - NLR family pyrin domain containing 6 Gene
Also Known as AVR; NAVR; PAN3; NALP6; PYPAF5; CLR11.4; NAVR/AVR
Species: Homo sapiens
About NLRP6
This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 67 orthologues and 20 paralogues. Biased expression in duodenum (RPKM 17.8), small intestine (RPKM 17.7) and 3 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene binds arginine-vasopressin and may be involved in the arginine-vasopressin-mediated regulation of renal salt-water balance. The encoded protein also mediates inflammatory responses in the colon to allow recovery from intestinal epithelial damage and protects against tumorigenesis and the development of colitis. Finally, this protein can increase activation of NF-kappa-B, activation of CASP1 through interaction with ASC, and cAMP accumulation. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2013]
