Description
Product Characteristics:
Apoptosis is regulated by death domain (DD) and/or caspase recruitment domain (CARD)bcontaining molecules and a caspase family of proteases. CARD containing cell death regulators include RAIDD, RICK, BCL10, Apaf 1, caspase 9 and caspase 2. Apoptosis repressor with CARD is a CARD domain containing protein that interacts with caspase 2 and 8 to inhibit enzymatic activity of caspase 8. Apoptosis repressor with CARD suppresses apoptosis induced by cell death adapters FADD and TRADD and by cell death receptors Fas, TNFR 1, and DR3. The mRNA of Apoptosis repressor with CARD is primarily expressed in skeletal muscle and cardiac tissue. The nuclear isoform (1/Nop30) may be involved in RNA splicing and the cytoplasmic isoform (2/Myp) may inhibit apoptosis.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm, Nucleus
Synonyms: Apoptosis repressor with CARD, ARC, Muscle enriched cytoplasmic protein, MYC, Myp, NOP, Nop30, Nucleolar protein 3 apoptosis repressor with CARD domain, Nucleolar protein 3, Nucleolar protein of 30 kDa, NOL3_MOUSE.
Target Information: This gene encodes an anti-apoptotic protein that has been shown to down-regulate the enzyme activities of caspase 2, caspase 8 and tumor protein p53. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010]
