Summary
[Homo sapiens] Regulator of NF-kappaB and CASP1, angiotensin II and vasopressin receptor
[Homo sapiens] NLRP6 is a negative regulator of inflammatory signalling and impedes the clearance of both Gram-positive and -negative bacterial pathogens. (Demonstrated in mice)
[Mus musculus] Nlrp6 is a negative regulator of inflammatory signalling and impedes the clearance of both Gram-positive and -negative bacterial pathogens.
[Mus musculus] Nlrp6 functions with Dhx15 as a viral RNA sensor to induce IFN-stimulated genes, and this effect is especially important in the intestinal tract.
[Mus musculus] Microbiota-associated metabolites modulate Nlrp6 inflammasome signalling, epithelial Il18 secretion, and anti-microbial pathways.
Entrez Gene
Summary This gene does not have any Entrez summary - the following is the summary from its human ortholog ENSG00000174885:
The protein encoded by this gene binds arginine-vasopressin and may be involved in the arginine-vasopressin-mediated regulation of renal salt-water balance. The encoded protein also mediates inflammatory responses in the colon to allow recovery from intestinal epithelial damage and protects against tumorigenesis and the development of colitis. Finally, this protein can increase activation of NF-kappa-B, activation of CASP1 through interaction with ASC, and cAMP accumulation. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2013]
