Recombinant Human NLR family member X1 (NLRX1), Truncated

Uniprot Id

Q86UT6

Target Species

Human

Target Name

NLRX1

Target Full Name

NLR family member X1

Target Function

Participates in antiviral signaling. Acts as a negative regulator of MAVS-mediated antiviral responses, through the inhibition of the virus-induced RLH (RIG-like helicase)-MAVS interaction. Instead, promotes autophagy by interacting with TUFM and subsequently recruiting the autophagy-related proteins ATG5 and ATG12. Regulates also MAVS-dependent NLRP3 inflammasome activation to attenuate apoptosis. Has no inhibitory function on NF-kappa-B signaling pathway, but enhances NF-kappa-B and JUN N-terminal kinase dependent signaling through the production of reactive oxygen species.

Target Subcellular Location

Mitochondrion outer membrane.

Target Protein Families

NLRP family

Target Tissue Specificity

Ubiquitously expressed. Strongest expression in mammary gland, heart and muscle. Detected in HeLa, HEK293T, THP-1, HL-60, Raji and Jurkat cell lines (at protein level).

Target Background

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the NLR family and localizes to the outer mitochondrial membrane. The encoded protein is a regulator of mitochondrial antivirus responses. Three transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.
