Summary: Enables several functions, including ATP hydrolysis activity; phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate binding activity; and signaling adaptor activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of immune response; positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process; and response to bacterium. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including activation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity involved in apoptotic process; acute inflammatory response; and defense response to virus. Located in interphase microtubule organizing center; mitochondrion; and nucleus. Part of NLRP3 inflammasome complex. Is active in membrane. Is expressed in central nervous system and retina. Used to study CINCA Syndrome; familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome 1; and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in CINCA Syndrome; Muckle-Wells syndrome; autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 34; familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome 1; and urticaria. Orthologous to human NLRP3 (NLR family pyrin domain containing 3). [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.

Status: VALIDATED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (3) uses an alternate splice site in an internal exon, compared to variant 1. This variant is represented as non-coding because the use of the 5'-most expected translational start codon, as used in variant 1, renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
