Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including Pyrin domain binding activity; aspartic-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity; and caspase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of inflammatory response. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus and cytosol. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Predicted to colocalize with chromosome, telomeric region. Is expressed in early conceptus and gonad. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in gestational trophoblastic neoplasm. Orthologous to human NLRP2 (NLR family pyrin domain containing 2) and NLRP7 (NLR family pyrin domain containing 7). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
