Definition
What does NLRP mean?
- NLRP
- NLRP (Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain, Leucine rich Repeat and Pyrin domain containing), also abbreviated as NALP, is a type of NOD-like receptor. NLRP proteins are part of the innate immunity and detect conserved pathogen characteristics such as peptidoglycan. It is thought that NLRP proteins sense inherent danger, and link this with microbial products, creating a response under the concept of the inflammasome including K+ efflux and caspase 1 activation. NLRP is also known to be associated with a number of hereditary diseases. Research suggests NLRP proteins may be involved in combating retroviruses in gametes. Currently there are at least 13 known human NALP genes named as NALP1 through NALP13.
