    FAMILY
  • caspase recruitment domain (CARD) family
  • CATEGORY adaptor
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     intracellular
    intracellular,cytoplasm
    basic FUNCTION
  • activator of BCL10 leading to NFKB activation
  • acting as a postive regulator of apoptosis
  • thought to function as a molecular scaffold for the assembly of a BCL10 signaling complex that activates NF-kappaB
  • is a key transducer of Dectin-1 signaling (controlling a non-TLR pathway for innate anti-fungal immunity)
  • required for innate immune responses to intracellular pathogens
  • required for Toll-like receptor-induced activation of dendritic cells through the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases
  • adaptor protein essential for the activation of myeloid cells through ITAM-associated and Toll-like receptors
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell life, cell death/apoptosis
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS immunity/defense
