Involved in innate immunity and the inflammatory response. Interacts with several components of the inflammasome complex, a large oligomeric structure which recruits and activates CASP1 and ultimately induces maturation of cytokines such as IL1B. However, the exact role of MEFV in the inflammatory pathway is uncertain as contradictory effects on IL1B processing have been reported in different experimental systems. Has been shown to activate IL1B production (PubMed:16037825). Has also been shown to inhibit IL1B production (PubMed:16785446, PubMed:17431422). Also required for PSTPIP1-induced PYCARD oligomerization and for formation of pyroptosomes, large supramolecular structures composed of oligomerized PYCARD dimers which form prior to inflammatory apoptosis. Can reduce PYCARD-induced apoptosis. Recruits PSTPIP1 to pyroptosomes, and required for PSTPIP1 oligomerization.

Interaction
Homotrimer. Interacts (via the B box-type zinc finger) with PSTPIP1 (PubMed:14595024, PubMed:17964261, PubMed:19109554, PubMed:28835462). Interacts (via the B30.2/SPRY domain) with several components of the inflammasome complex, including CASP1 p20 and p10 subunits, CASP5, PYCARD, NLRP1, NLRP2 AND NLRP3, as well as with unprocessed IL1B; this interaction may lead to autophagic degradation of these proteins (PubMed:11498534, PubMed:16785446, PubMed:17431422, PubMed:17964261, PubMed:26347139). Component of the AIM2 PANoptosome complex, a multiprotein complex that drives inflammatory cell death (PANoptosis) (By similarity). Interacts with NFKBIA and RELA (PubMed:18577712). Interacts weakly with VASP and ACTR3 (PubMed:19109554). Interacts with active ULK1 (phosphorylated on 'Ser-317') and BECN1 simultaneously. Also interacts with ATG16L1 (via WD repeats), and with ATG8 family members, including GABARAP, GABARAPL1 and, to a lesser extent, GABARAPL2, MAP1LC3A/LC3A and MAP1LC3C/LC3C. Interacts with TRIM21 (PubMed:26347139, PubMed:28835462). Interacts with YWHAB, YWHAE, YWHAG, YWHAH, YWHAQ AND YWHAZ; the interaction is required for the down-regulation of pyrin pro-inflammatory activity (PubMed:27030597, PubMed:28835462).
