ABSTRACT
Gasdermin family (GSDMs), consisting of six proteins (GSDMA, GSDMB, GSDMC, GSDMD, GSDME and DFNB59) in humans and ten proteins (GSDMA1-3, GSDMC1-4, GSDMD, GSDME and DFNB59) in mice, might be involved in multiple physiological and pathological processes, including ep-ithelial cell development, apoptosis, inflammation, carcinogenesis and immune-related diseases. Recent studies confirmed GSDMD, which containing an N-terminal domain with pore-forming activity and a C-termi-nal domain with structural autoinhibition, as a crucial substrate of inflammatory caspases in pyroptosis, pio-neering a new area for structural and functional research on Gasdermin family proteins. This review will sum-marize the latest progress in the structures, functions and association with diseases of several Gasdermin fam-ily proteins.
