Abstract
The human NLRP1 (hNLRP1) gene emerges as a pivotal player in a spectrum of human disorders, spanning from cancer to neurological ailments. Genetic variations within hNLRP1, particularly single nucleotide polymorphisms and several other point mutations, correlate strongly with these disorders, often residing in critical regulatory segments of the gene. These insights into genetic intricacies are instrumental in unravelling hNLRP1's involvement in various diseases and offer prospects for targeted therapeutic interventions. The human NLRP1 is infamous for its duality, providing subtle beneficiary roles in certain conditions when active in regulated levels and while being prominently higher and profound in most disease conditions that involve immune responses by inflammatory mediation, that can vary from autoimmune conditions to chronic disorders such as arthritis and cardiovascular ailments, ascertaining its nuanced nature when interacting with various types of stimuli and conditions. This review sheds light on the illustrative viewpoints of its mechanism of action, the multifaceted roles of NLRP1 in health and disease, and presenting avenues for future research and therapeutic development aimed at harnessing its potential for clinical benefit across diverse pathological contexts.
