It is also known as NALP6, PYPAF5, PAN3, and CLR11.4, and is one of 14 pyrin domain containing members of the NOD-like receptor family of pattern recognition receptors. As with several other NOD-like receptors, NLRP6's role in immunity is related to its ability to regulate caspase-1 and NF-κB activity.[1]
