Preferred Label : nod signaling adaptor proteins;
MeSH definition : Cytosolic signaling adaptor proteins that were initially discovered by their role
in the innate immunity (IMMUNITY, INNATE) response of organisms that lack an adaptive
immune system. This class of proteins contains three domains, a C-terminal ligand
recognition domain, an N-terminal effector-binding domain, and a centrally located
nuclear-binding oligomerization domain. Many members of this class contain a C-terminal
leucine rich domain which binds to PEPTIDOGLYCAN on the surface of BACTERIA and plays
a role in pathogen resistance.;
MeSH synonym : nucleotide oligomerization domain proteins; nuclear-binding oligomerization domain proteins; nuclear binding oligomerization domain proteins;
MeSH hyponym : NOD Leucine-Rich repeat proteins; NOD Leucine Rich Repeat Proteins; NOD-LRR Signaling Adaptor Proteins; NOD LRR Signaling Adaptor Proteins;
Is substance : O;
Origin ID : D053472;
