NLRC3 (NLR family CARD domain containing 3) is a member of the NOD-like receptor family with potential roles in innate immunity and cellular stress responses. Unlike other NLR proteins, NLRC3 contains a CARD (caspase recruitment domain) domain. It is expressed in various tissues including immune cells and has been implicated in the regulation of inflammatory responses and cell survival pathways.
NLRC3 participates in several cellular processes:
NLRC3 is expressed in various tissues:
