NLRC4 NLR family CARD domain containing 4 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 58484)
Symbol: NLRC4
Full name: NLR family CARD domain containing 4
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: AIFEC; CARD12; CLAN; CLAN1; CLANA; CLANB; CLANC; CLAND; CLR2.1; FCAS4; IPAF
Summary: This gene encodes a member of the caspase recruitment domain-containing NLR family. Family members play essential roles in innate immune response to a wide range of pathogenic organisms, tissue damage and other cellular stresses. Mutations in this gene result in autoinflammation with infantile enterocolitis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014]
