Facts about NACHT, LRR and PYD domains-containing protein 6.
Recruitment of proCASP1 into the inflammasome promotes its activation and CASP1-catalyzed IL1B and IL18 maturation and secretion in the extracellular milieu. The precise NLRP6 activation stimulus has not been identified yet (By similarity) (PubMed:21593405).

Highly expressed in the gastrointestinal tract, predominantly in colonic myofibroblasts and in colonic epithelial and endothelial cells. Within the intestinal mucosa, highly expressed by goblet cells. Also expressed in hepatocytes and in immune cells, including CD4(+) and CD8(+) T-cells, dendritic cells, mastocytes and peritoneal macrophages, as well as in lung, kidney, bladder and gonads.
