CARD11 (Caspase recruitment domain-containing protein 11) is a gene that drives cell growth when it is altered. The public catalogues list it as an oncogene driver, a tumour suppressor and a biomarker, and clinical evidence ties its variants to diagnosis, prognosis or drug response. Tied to Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Hepatocellular carcinoma, Skin cancer and 5 more. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.

Biology

Adapter protein that plays a key role in adaptive immune response by transducing the activation of NF-kappa-B downstream of T-cell receptor (TCR) and B-cell receptor (BCR) engagement. Transduces signals downstream TCR or BCR activation via the formation of a multiprotein complex together with BCL10 and MALT1 that induces NF-kappa-B and MAP kinase p38 (MAPK11, MAPK12, MAPK13 and/or MAPK14) pathways. Upon activation in response to TCR or BCR triggering, CARD11 homooligomerises to form a nucleating helical template that recruits BCL10 via CARD-CARD interaction, thereby promoting polymerisation of BCL10 and subsequent recruitment of MALT1: this leads to I-kappa-B kinase (IKK) phosphorylation and degradation, and release of NF-kappa-B proteins for nuclear translocation. Its binding to DPP4 induces T-cell proliferation and NF-kappa-B activation in a T-cell receptor/CD3-dependent manner. Promotes linear ubiquitination of BCL10 by promoting the targeting of BCL10 to RNF31/HOIP. Stimulates the phosphorylation of BCL10. Location: Cytoplasm; Membrane raft (UniProt). Locus 7p22.2 (HGNC).
