Primary Identifier | MGI:3582959 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 637515 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP binding activity; ATP hydrolysis activity; and nucleic acid binding activity. Acts upstream of or within protein catabolic process and pyroptosis. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of NLRP1 inflammasome complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in vitiligo. Orthologous to human NLRP1 (NLR family pyrin domain containing 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit protection from anthrax lethal toxin-induced lung injury and pyroptosis of macrophages. [provided by MGI curators] |
