NLRP6 short for NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 6 is an intracellular protein that plays a role in the immune system. It is also known as NALP6 PYPAF5 PAN3 and CLR11.4 and is one of 14 pyrin domain containing members of the NOD-like receptor family of pattern recognition receptors. As with several other NOD-like receptors NLRP6’s role in immunity is related to its ability to regulate caspase-1 and NF-κB activity.
