NLRP3 Inflammasome in Neurodegeneration

Introduction

Nlrp3 Inflammasome In Neurodegeneration is an important component in the neurobiology of neurodegenerative diseases. This page provides detailed information about its structure, function, and role in disease processes.

Overview

The NLRP3 (NOD-, LRR- and pyrin domain-containing protein 3) inflammasome is a multiprotein complex of the innate immune system that has emerged as a central mediator of chronic neuroinflammation across virtually all major neurodegenerative /diseases. Composed of the sensor protein NLRP3, the adaptor protein ASC (apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD), and the effector protease caspase-1, this complex orchestrates the maturation and release of the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-18 (IL-18), and triggers a lytic form of cell death called pyroptosis through cleavage of gasdermin D (GSDMD) [@holbrook2021]
