Post Translational Modifications: Cleaved by CASP1 (Probable). The N-terminal cleavage product localizes to the nucleus as a filamentous network and to the cytoplasm, interacts more strongly with RELA and NFKBIA than the full-length protein, enhances the nuclear localization of RELA and induces NFKBIA proteolysis. The C-terminal cleavage product localizes to the cytoplasm.
Subcellular Location: Cytoplasm>Cytoskeleton. Cell projection>Ruffle. Cell projection>Lamellipodium. Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Cytoplasmic vesicle>Autophagosome. Note: Associated with microtubules and with the filamentous actin of perinuclear filaments and peripheral lamellar ruffles. In pre-apoptotic cells, colocalizes with PYCARD/ASC in large specks (inflammasomes). In migrating monocytes, strongly polarized at the leading edge of the cell where it colocalizes with polymerizing actin and PYCARD/ASC.Nucleus.
Tissue Specificity: Expressed in peripheral blood leukocytes, particularly in mature granulocytes and to a lesser extent in monocytes but not in lymphocytes. Detected in spleen, lung and muscle, probably as a result of leukocyte infiltration in these tissues. Not expressed in thymus, prostate, testis, ovary, small intestine, colon, heart, brain, placenta, liver, kidney, pancreas. Expression detected in several myeloid leukemic, colon cancer, and prostate cancer cell lines.
Subunit Structure: Homotrimer. Interacts (via the B box-type zinc finger) with PSTPIP1 (PubMed:14595024, PubMed:17964261, PubMed:19109554). Interacts (via the B30.2/SPRY domain) with several components of the inflammasome complex, including CASP1 p20 and p10 subunits, CASP5, PYCARD, NLRP1, NLRP2 AND NLRP3, as well as with unprocessed IL1B; this interaction may lead to autophagic degradation of these proteins (PubMed:11498534, PubMed:16785446, PubMed:17431422, PubMed:17964261, PubMed:26347139). Interacts with NFKBIA and RELA (PubMed:18577712). Interacts weakly with VASP and ACTR3 (PubMed:19109554). Interacts with active ULK1 (phosphorylated on 'Ser-317') and BECN1 simultaneously. Also interacts with ATG16L1 (via WD repeats), and with ATG8 family members, including GABARAP, GABARAPL1 and, to a lesser extent, GABARAPL2, MAP1LC3A/LC3A and MAP1LC3C/LC3C. Interacts with TRIM21 (PubMed:26347139).
Similarity: The B box-type zinc finger interacts, possibly intramolecularly, with the pyrin domain; this may be an autoinhibitory mechanism released by PSTPIP1 binding.

NCBI Description
This gene encodes a protein, also known as pyrin or marenostrin, that is an important modulator of innate immunity. Mutations in this gene are associated with Mediterranean fever, a hereditary periodic fever syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
pyrin: Probably controls the inflammatory response in myelomonocytic cells at the level of the cytoskeleton organization. Defects in MEFV are the cause of familial Mediterranean fever autosomal recessive (ARFMF). ARFMF is an inherited disorder characterized by recurrent episodic fever, serosal inflammation and pain in the abdomen, chest or joints. ARFMF is frequently complicated by amyloidosis, which leads to renal failure and can be prophylactically treated with colchicine. ARFMF primarily affects ancestral ethnic groups living around the Mediterranean basin: North African Jews, Armenians, Arabs and Turks. The disease is also distributed in other populations including Greeks, Cypriots, Italians and Spanish, although at a lower prevalence. Defects in MEFV are the cause of familial Mediterranean fever autosomal dominant (ADFMF). ADFMF is characterized by periodic fever, serosal inflammation and pain in the abdomen, chest or joints as seen also in the autosomal recessive form of the disease. It is associated with renal amyloidosis and characterized by colchicine unresponsiveness. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The MEFV mefv (Catalog #AAA9612467) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Pyrin Antibody reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Pyrin can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EIA). WB: 1:500-1:2000 ELISA(peptide): 1:20,000-1:40,000. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the MEFV mefv for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Pyrin, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
