The Gasdermin Family: Emerging Therapeutic Targets for Diseases

The recently discovered Gasdermin (GSDM) protein family plays a crucial role in regulating pyroptosis, a special form of programmed cell death (PCD). In humans, six homologous genes have been identified: GSDMA-E and DFNB59. The role of GSDMs in pyroptosis has been confirmed, and GSDMA-E has been shown to undergo protein hydrolysis processing, leading to the release of n-terminal (NT) fragments that assemble into pores on the plasma membrane (PM).  …
