It has a molecular mass of about 115 kDa. CARD15\/NOD2 expresses mostly in immune cells such as monocytes macrophages and dendritic cells. Additionally it presence can be found in epithelial cells lining the gastrointestinal tract where it plays a vital role.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nCARD15\/NOD2 detects microbial components and triggers immune responses. It primarily acts as a pattern recognition receptor identifying bacterial muramyl dipeptide (MDP). Upon activation CARD15\/NOD2 initiates a signaling cascade leading to the activation of nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-kB) which is an important transcription factor in inflammation and immune response. The protein does not operate alone and involves complexes to enable its functions effectively.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nThe CARD15\/NOD2 protein engages directly in the NF-kB signaling pathway pivotal for inflammatory and immune responses. It also interacts in the MAPK pathway that participates in cellular responses to stress. CARD15\/NOD2 works alongside other proteins such as RIP2 which is a kinase that further transmits signals downstream in these pathways enhancing immune regulation.\u003cbr\u003e\nDefects or mutations in CARD15\/NOD2 relate to inflammatory diseases such as Crohn's disease and Blau syndrome. In Crohn's disease mutations cause an improper immune response to intestinal flora contributing to inflammation. In these conditions CARD15\/NOD2 interactions with proteins like RIP2 become altered disrupting normal cellular functions and exacerbating disease symptoms.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46860524388521,"sku":"ab115542","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab115542","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
