NLRC5 (NLR family CARD domain containing 5) is the largest member of the NOD-like receptor family. It contains an N-terminal CARD domain and is primarily involved in the regulation of innate immune responses. NLRC5 is a critical regulator of MHC class I expression and plays important roles in adaptive immunity and inflammatory responses.
NLRC5 has several important functions:
NLRC5 is widely expressed:
