The Role of AIM2 in Inflammatory Gene Expression
PublicDownloadable Content
open in viewerThe importance of the cytosolic receptor, absent in melanoma 2 (AIM2), has recently been discovered. Its influence on inflammatory gene expression is essential for proper inflammatory response. In this study, inflammatory gene expression in wild type macrophages was observed, revealing a key role of AIM2 in certain inflammasome gene expressions. With a combination of the data gathered and additional experimentation, the role of AIM2 in inflammatory gene expression can be appreciated.
