Anti-Nod1

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-containing protein 1, also known as CARD4, is a protein receptor that in humans is encoded by the NOD1 gene. It is a member of NOD-like receptor protein family and is a close relative of Nod2. It recognizes bacterial molecules and stimulates an immune reaction. Nod1 contains a caspase recruitment domain (CARD). This gene is an intracellular pattern recognition receptor, which is similar in structure to resistant proteins of plants, and mediates innate and acquired immunity by recognizing bacterial molecules containing D-glutamyl-meso-diaminopimelic acid (iE-DAP) moiety. Additionally, it has been shown that Nod1 can sense cytosolic microbial products by monitoring the activation state of small Rho GTPases. Protein function: Enhances caspase-9-mediated apoptosis. Induces NF-kappa- B activity via RIPK2 and IKK-gamma. Confers responsiveness to intracellular bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS). Forms an intracellular sensing system along with ARHGEF2 for the detection of microbial effectors during cell invasion by pathogens. Required for RHOA and RIPK2 dependent NF-kappa-B signaling pathway activation upon S.flexneri cell invasion. Involved not only in sensing peptidoglycan (PGN)-derived muropeptides but also in the activation of NF-kappa-B by Shigella effector proteins IpgB2 and OspB. Recruits NLRP10 to the cell membrane following bacterial infection. [The UniProt Consortium]
