NLRP2 - NLR family pyrin domain containing 2 Gene
Also Known as NBS1; PAN1; NALP2; PYPAF2; CLR19.9
Species: Homo sapiens
About NLRP2
This gene has 19 transcripts (splice variants), 1 gene allele, 66 orthologues, 20 paralogues and is associated with 1 phenotype. Broad expression in placenta (RPKM 9.2), urinary bladder (RPKM 9.0) and 16 other tissues.
Summary
This gene is a member of the nucleotide-binding and leucine-rich repeat receptor (NLR) family, and is predicted to contain an N-terminal pyrin effector domain (PYD), a centrally-located nucleotide-binding and oligomerization domain (NACHT) and C-terminal leucine-rich repeats (LRR). Members of this gene family are thought to be important regulators of immune responses. This gene product interacts with components of the IkB kinase (IKK) complex, and can regulate both Caspase-1 and NF-kB (nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells) activity. The pyrin domain is necessary and sufficient for suppression of NF-kB activity. An allelic variant (rs147585490) has been found that is incapable of blocking the transcriptional activity of NF-kB. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2016]
