High impact information on CARD6

  • Importantly, CARD6 expression has a synergistic effect on NF-kappaB activation induced by several independent signal transduction pathways [1].
  • Cardiak and Nod1 (but not other CARD proteins) also exhibited opposing effects on CARD6 protein phosphorylation and expression, providing further evidence of functional interactions among these proteins in cells [2].
  • We cloned a novel cDNA derived from the CARD6 gene locus on chromosome 5p12 of 311 amino acids in length [2].
  • CARD6 also did not affect caspase activation and apoptosis induced by overexpression of Fas, Bax, or other pro-apoptotic stimuli [2].
  • CARD tricks: controlling the interactions of CARD6 with RICK and microtubules [3].
