NLRP3, NOD-like receptor pyrin domain-containing protein 3: Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type:
NLRP3 (NOD-like receptor pyrin domain-containing protein 3) is a protein that plays a crucial role in the regulation of inflammation and immune responses.
NLRP3 typically has high expression in cancers, with poor prognosis.
For alzheimer's disease:
-NLRP3 is upregulated in Alzheimer's disease (AD)
-NLRP3 is activated in microglia in response to amyloid-β (Aβ) and tau aggregates.
-Promotes tau hyperphosphorylation and spread via inflammation-driven pathways.
