NLRP6 is a member of the NLR (nucleotide-oligomerization domain-like receptor) family of proteins that recognize pathogen-derived factors and damage-associated molecular patterns in the cytosol. The function of NLRP6 has been attributed to the maintenance of epithelial integrity and host defense against microbial infections.
