Immunopharmacology Comments

NLRP6 is an intracellular pattern recognition receptor (PRR). It is a member of the NACHT, LRR and PYD domains-containing protein (NALP) subfamily of PRRs. The presence of NALPs in inflammasomes underlies their involvement in regulating proinflammatory caspases (esp. caspase 1) and NF-κB.

Immuno Process Associations

Immuno Process:  Inflammation

Immuno Process:  Immune regulation

Immuno Process:  Cellular signalling

Physiological Functions Comments

Involved in negative regulation of inflammasome signalling, regulation of mucus secretion and host intestinal microbiota composition.
