Progress of the Nod-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing protein 12 in autoinflammatory diseases / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

The Nod-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing protein 12(NLRP12), a newly discovered member of the Nod-like receptor family, is one of the important pattern recognition receptors.It recognizes a variety of pathogens, initiates downstream immune responses, and participates in the regulation of multiple inflammatory responses.NLRP12 is related to the occurrence and progression of inflammatory diseases.In this review, the structure and function of NLRP12 as well as NLRP12-associated autoinflammatory diseases were discussed, so as to provide new insights for the understanding, exploration and treatment of NLRP12-associated autoinflammatory diseases.
