NLRP3
Immune System · Pattern Recognition & Innate Priming
How does NLRP3 help the immune system respond to danger?
NLRP3 makes cryopyrin, an intracellular sensor involved in starting and regulating inflammatory responses. This helps cells react to injury or threatening signals, with disease risk depending on the specific genetic change.
- Common Gene Name
- NLR family pyrin domain containing 3
