Caspase Activation and Recruitment Domain - CISMeF
Caspase Activation and Recruitment DomainMeSH Descriptor
Preferred Label : Caspase Activation and Recruitment Domain;
MeSH definition : A homotypic protein interaction module of the death domain superfamily. It is composed
of a bundle of six alpha-helices that is related in sequence and structure to the
DEATH DOMAIN and DEATH EFFECTOR DOMAIN. The Caspase Activation and Recruitment Domain
(CARD domain) typically associates with other CARD-containing proteins, forming either
dimers or trimers. CARD domains may occur in isolation, or in combination with other
domains in CARD signaling adaptor proteins and initiator CASPASES that function in
APOPTOSIS.;
