NLRP9 - NLR family pyrin domain containing 9 Gene
Also Known as NOD6; NALP9; PAN12; CLR19.1
Species: Homo sapiens
About NLRP9
This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 77 orthologues and 20 paralogues. Biased expression in prostate (RPKM 1.0), testis (RPKM 0.4) and 9 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the NALP protein family. Members of the NALP protein family typically contain a NACHT domain, a NACHT-associated domain (NAD), a C-terminal leucine-rich repeat (LRR) region, and an N-terminal pyrin domain (PYD). This protein may play a regulatory role in the innate immune system as similar family members belong to the signal-induced multiprotein complex, the inflammasome, that activates the pro-inflammatory caspases, Caspase-1 and caspase-5.
