Human Gene CARD16 (ENST00000525374.1_9) from GENCODE V47lift37
Description: Caspase inhibitor. Acts as a regulator of procaspase-1/CASP1 activation implicated in the regulation of the proteolytic maturation of pro-interleukin-1 beta (IL1B) and its release during inflammation. Inhibits the release of IL1B in response to LPS in monocytes. Also induces NF-kappa-B activation during the pro-inflammatory cytokine response. Also able to inhibit CASP1-mediated neuronal cell death, TNF- alpha, hypoxia-, UV-, and staurosporine-mediated cell death but not ER stress-mediated cell death. Acts by preventing activation of caspases CASP1 and CASP4, possibly by preventing the interaction between CASP1 and RIPK2.

ID:CAR16_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Caspase recruitment domain-containing protein 16; AltName: Full=CARD only domain-containing protein 1; AltName: Full=Caspase-1 inhibitor COP; AltName: Full=Pseudo interleukin-1 beta converting enzyme; Short=Pseudo-ICE; FUNCTION: Caspase inhibitor. Acts as a regulator of procaspase- 1/CASP1 activation implicated in the regulation of the proteolytic maturation of pro-interleukin-1 beta (IL1B) and its release during inflammation. Inhibits the release of IL1B in response to LPS in monocytes. Also induces NF-kappa-B activation during the pro- inflammatory cytokine response. Also able to inhibit CASP1- mediated neuronal cell death, TNF-alpha, hypoxia-, UV-, and staurosporine-mediated cell death but not ER stress-mediated cell death. Acts by preventing activation of caspases CASP1 and CASP4, possibly by preventing the interaction between CASP1 and RIPK2. SUBUNIT: Homooligomer. Interacts with CASP1, CASP4, CARD8 and RIPK2. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Widely expressed. Expressed at higher level in placenta, spleen, lymph node and bone marrow. Weakly or not expressed in thymus. INDUCTION: Down-regulated in patients suffering of Huntington disease. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 CARD domain.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
