Summary
[Homo sapiens] MEFV inhibits the formation of CASP8, PYCARD and NLRC4 inflammasome formation by competing with CASP8 to bind to PYCARD.
[Homo sapiens] MEFV inhibits binding of NLRP3 with PYCARD.
[Homo sapiens] PYCARD-MEFV pyroptosome is induced by PSTPIP1 in a pyrin-dependent manner.
[Homo sapiens] MEFV homodimerization is important for its ability to induce PYCARD oligomerization and CASP1 activation.
[Homo sapiens] MEFV gene is bound constitutively by CEBPB, while RELA binds to the MEFV gene upon TNFA stimulation.
Entrez Gene
Summary This gene does not have any Entrez summary - the following is the summary from its human ortholog ENSG00000103313:
This gene encodes a protein, also known as pyrin or marenostrin, that is an important modulator of innate immunity. Mutations in this gene are associated with Mediterranean fever, a hereditary periodic fever syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
