Background: | This gene encodes a member of the NACHT, leucine rich repeat, and PYD containing (NLRP) protein family. It has an N-terminal pyrin domain, followed by a NACHT domain, a NACHT-associated domain (NAD), and a C-terminal leucine-rich repeat (LRR) region. NLRP proteins are implicated in the activation of proinflammatory caspases through multiprotein complexes called inflammasomes. This gene may act as a feedback regulator of caspase-1-dependent interleukin 1-beta secretion. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. |
UniProt Protein Function: | NLRP7: Inhibits CASP1/caspase-1-dependent IL1B secretion. Defects in NLRP7 are the cause of hydatidiform mole recurrent type 1 (HYDM1). A disorder characterized by excessive trophoblast development and the presence of a growing mass of tissue inside the uterus at the beginning of a pregnancy. It leads to abnormal pregnancies with no embryo, and cystic degeneration of the chorionic villi. Belongs to the NLRP family. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. |
