MeSH definition : An NLR protein that contains an N-terminal PYRIN DOMAIN and ATP-binding site and 9
C-terminal LEUCINE-rich repeats; it is expressed primarily by MACROPHAGES. It is a
core component of the INFLAMMASOME and directs its assembly in response to pathogen
infection and damage-associated stimuli. Mutations in the NLRP3 gene are associated
with FAMILIAL COLD AUTOINFLAMMATORY SYNDROME.;
MeSH synonym : NLR Family, Pyrin Domain Containing 3 Protein; Cold Autoinflammatory Syndrome 1 Protein; NACHT, LRR and PYD Domains-Containing Protein 3; NACHT, LRR and PYD Domains Containing Protein 3; NLRP3 Protein;
