| [Gasdermin-A2]: This form constitutes the precursor of the pore-forming protein: upon cleavage, the released N-terminal moiety (Gasdermin-A2, N-terminal) binds to membranes and forms pores, triggering cell death. {By SimilarityUniProtKB:Q96QA5}. [Gasdermin-A2, N-terminal]: Pore-forming protein that causes membrane permeabilization and pyroptosis. Released upon cleavage of Gasdermin-A2, and binds to membrane inner leaflet lipids. Homooligomerizes within the membrane and forms pores of 10-15 nanometers (nm) of inner diameter, triggering pyroptosis. Binds to membrane inner leaflet lipids, such as phosphatidylinositol (4,5)- bisphosphate. The functional mechanisms and physiological proteases that cleave and activate this pore-forming protein are unknown. {By SimilarityUniProtKB:Q96QA5}. | Assigned Ontology terms |
