Protein Domain : BinCARD, CARD domain IPR042146

Type	Domain
Description	This entry represents the CARD domain found in BinCARD, also known as CARD19. BinCARD interacts with apoptosis inducer CARD protein Bcl10 through CARD. It inhibits Bcl10-mediated activation of NF-kappa B and to suppress Bcl10 phosphorylation [ ].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 [].
