Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables phospholipid binding activity; transcription coactivator activity; and wide pore channel activity. Involved in several processes, including defense response to bacterium; positive regulation of interleukin-1 beta production; and protein-containing complex assembly. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to extracellular stimulus. Located in cytosol; extracellular space; and mitochondrial membrane. Part of NLRP3 inflammasome complex. Is active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including aorta; gut; liver; metanephros; and spleen. Orthologous to human GSDMD (gasdermin D).
