CARD8 - caspase recruitment domain family member 8 Gene
Also Known as NDPP; DACAR; DAKAR; NDPP1; TUCAN; CARDINAL
Species: Homo sapiens
About CARD8
This gene has 31 transcripts (splice variants), 96 orthologues and is associated with 1 phenotype. Broad expression in spleen (RPKM 13.6), lymph node (RPKM 11.5) and 24 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the Caspase recruitment domain (CARD)-containing family of proteins, which are involved in pathways leading to activation of caspases or nuclear factor kappa-B (NFKB). This protein may be a component of the inflammasome, a protein complex that plays a role in the activation of proinflammatory caspases. It is thought that this protein acts as an adaptor molecule that negatively regulates NFKB activation, CASP1-dependent IL1B secretion, and Apoptosis. Polymorphisms in this gene may be associated with a susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
