Protein function (UniProt)

NACHT, LRR and PYD domains-containing protein 12

Plays an essential role as an potent mitigator of inflammation (PubMed:30559449). Primarily expressed in dendritic cells and macrophages, inhibits both canonical and non-canonical NF-kappa-B and ERK activation pathways (PubMed:15489334, PubMed:17947705). Functions as a negative regulator of NOD2 by targeting it to degradation via the proteasome pathway (PubMed:30559449). In turn, promotes bacterial tolerance (PubMed:30559449). Also inhibits the RIGI-mediated immune signaling against RNA viruses by reducing the E3 ubiquitin ligase TRIM25-mediated 'Lys-63'-linked RIGI activation but enhancing the E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF125-mediated 'Lys-48'-linked RIGI degradation (PubMed:30902577). Also acts as a negative regulator of inflammatory response to mitigate obesity and obesity-associated diseases in adipose tissue (By similarity)
