About NLRP4

Cytogenetic location: 19q13.43 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 19:55,836,540-55,881,855 (from NCBI)

This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 72 orthologues and 20 paralogues. Biased expression in testis (RPKM 3.5), lymph node (RPKM 0.8) and 1 other tissue.

Summary

The protein encoded by 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). This gene product has a demonstrated role as a negative regulator of Autophagy and type I interferon signaling pathways as a result of protein interactions with its NACHT domain. The PYD domain has also been shown to be important in the inhibition of NF-kB (nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells). [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2016]
