MyBioSource.com's CARD8 Antibody is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody. This antibody has been shown to work in applications such as: Western Blot. The CARD8 Antibody was generated using CARD8, and CARDINAL as the antigen and it reacts with Human.
Description
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, but their biological validity has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq]
