Gene information for NLRP2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID55655
Official gene symbolNLRP2
Full nameNLR family, pyrin domain containing 2
Aliases,CLR19.9,FLJ20510,NALP2,NBS1,PAN1,PYPAF2,
Gene summaryNALP proteins, such as NALP2, are characterized by an N-terminal pyrin (MIM 608107) domain (PYD) and are involved in the activation of caspase-1 (CASP1; MIM 147678) by Toll-like receptors (see TLR4; MIM 603030). They may also be involved in protein complexes that activate proinflammatory caspases (Tschopp et al., 2003 [PubMed 12563287]).[supplied by OMIM]
