Primary Identifier | MGI:1931465 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 66824 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables identical protein binding activity and protein dimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of cellular component organization; positive regulation of cytokine production; and regulation of defense response. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including defense response to Gram-positive bacterium; positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; and regulation of autophagy. Located in cytosol; extracellular region; and nucleus. Part of NLRP6 inflammasome complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; heart; hemolymphoid system gland; and urinary system. Orthologous to human PYCARD (PYD and CARD domain containing). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene display abnormalities in interleukin production and secretion as well as increased resistance lethal effects of lipopolysaccharide.
