Structural highlights
FunctionNINJ2_HUMAN Effector of necroptotic and pyroptotic programmed cell death that mediates plasma membrane rupture (cytolysis) (By similarity). Acts downstream of Gasdermin (GSDMA, GSDMB, GSDMC, GSDMD, or GSDME) or MLKL during pyroptosis or necroptosis, respectively: oligomerizes in response to death stimuli and promotes plasma membrane rupture by introducing hydrophilic faces of 2 alpha helices into the hydrophobic membrane, leading to release intracellular molecules named damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) that propagate the inflammatory response (By similarity). Also acts as a homophilic transmembrane adhesion molecule involved in nerve regeneration (PubMed:10627596). Promotes axonal growth (PubMed:10627596).[UniProtKB:Q92982][1] References
