NACHT LRR PYD domains-containing protein 3 (NLRP3)

Target
NLRP3
Molecular classification
Pattern Recognition Receptor (PRR)
01

Overview

NLRP3 is a pattern recognition receptor (PRR) within the innate immune system that recognizes pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). Upon activation, NLRP3 oligomerizes, recruits the adaptor protein ASC, and activates caspase-1, leading to the maturation and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18. Dysregulation of NLRP3 contributes to various autoinflammatory and metabolic diseases.
