It is also known as NALP14, NOD5, GC-LRR, Nalp-iota, PAN8, and CLR11.2, and is one of 14 pyrin domain containing members of the NOD-like receptor family of cytoplasmic receptors.[1] NLRP14 is found exclusively in the testes where it is expressed within spermatogonia, spermatocytes and spermatids.[2]
