| Primary Identifier | IPR042141 | Type | Domain |
| Short Name | CARD_CARD11 |
| description | This entry represents the CARD domain found in CARD11, also known as CARMA1. CARMA1, together with BCL10 (B-cell lymphoma 10) and Malt1 (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue-lymphoma-translocation gene 1), form the L-CBM signalosome (CBM complex in lymphoid immune cells) which mediates activation of NF-kB and MAPK by ITAM-coupled receptors expressed on immune cells. CARMA1 associates with BCL10 via a CARD-CARD interaction [].In general, CARDs are death domains (DDs) found associated with caspases []. They are known to be important in the signaling pathways for apoptosis, inflammation, and host-defense mechanisms []. DDs are protein-protein interaction domains found in a variety of domain architectures. Their common feature is that they form homodimers by self-association or heterodimers by associating with other members of the DD superfamily including PYRIN and DED (Death Effector Domain). They serve as adaptors in signaling pathways and can recruit other proteins into signaling complexes []. |
