Involved in positive regulation of inflammatory response and positive regulation of interleukin-1 beta production. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of canonical inflammasome complex and microtubule associated complex. Predicted to be active in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Is expressed in bladder; central nervous system; female associated reproductive structure; ureter; and urethra of female. Used to study familial Mediterranean fever.

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 (2) differs in the 3' UTR and has multiple coding region differences compared to variant 1, one of which results in a frameshift. This results in a shorter isoform (2) with a distinct C-terminus, compared to isoform 1.
