PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

motifs/domains
  • a N-terminal PYN (Pyrin-PAAD-Dapin) domain
  • a nucleotide binding site (NBS-NACHT subfamily)
  • eight leucine rich repeats (LRR)
  • Walker A/B motifs required to undergo self-oligomerization, Toll-like receptor- or CD40L-activated association with NF-kappaB-inducing kinase (NIK) and interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 1 (IRAK-1), degradation of NIK, and inhibition of IRAK-1 phosphorylation (Ye 2008)

    basic FUNCTION
  • enhancing nonclassical and classical major
  • histocompatibility complex class I expression at the level of the promoter, RNA, and protein expression
  • playing a crucial role in inflammatory signaling pathways
  • participating in inflammatory signaling by regulating the activation of NF-kappa B and cytokine processing
  • may mediate activation of CASP1 via PYCARD and promote activation of NF-kappa-B via IKK
  • antagonizing inflammatory responses initiated by Toll-like receptor agonists via interference with IRAK-1 activation
  • implicated in the activation of caspase-1 by the Toll-like receptors (TLRs) during the cells response to microbial infection (Tschopp 2003)
  • NLR protein that negatively regulates NF-kappaB signaling, specifically binds ATP and exhibits ATP hydrolysis activity (Ye 2010)
  • play important roles in both mammalian innate immune system and reproductive system (Tian 2009)
  • NLRP12, through its binding to HCK, may have an effect on the pathogenesis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML)
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell life, cell death/apoptosis

    mRNA levels of NLRC4, NLRP12, and IL1B were significantly upregulated in Kawasaki disease (KD) patients compared to the controls, but a decreased upregulation of NLRP12 was related to coronary arterial lesion formation
