NCIt definition : Human NLRP3 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 1q44 and is approximately
33 kb in length. This allele, which encodes NACHT, LRR and PYD domains-containing
protein 3, is involved in the regulation of both apoptosis and inflammation. Mutation
of the gene is associated with familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome, Muckle-Wells
syndrome, and chronic infantile neurological cutaneous and articular syndrome.;
NCIt note : The NLRP3 gene may play a role in the modulation of immune responses incuced by adjuvants.;
