NLRP14, short for
NOD-like receptor family
pyrin domain containing 14, is an
intracellular protein of mammals associated with a role in
spermatogenesis
Spermatogenesis is the process by which haploid spermatozoa develop from germ cells in the seminiferous tubules of the testis. This process starts with the mitotic division of the stem cells located close to the basement membrane of the tubule ...
. It is also known as NALP14, NOD5, GC-LRR, Nalp-iota, PAN8, and CLR11.2, and is one of 14 pyrin domain containing members of the NOD-like receptor family of
cytoplasmic receptors.
NLRP14 is found exclusively in the
testes where it is expressed within
spermatogonia,
spermatocytes and
spermatids.
