NLR family CARD domain-containing protein 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NLRC4 gene.[1][2]

In C. elegans, Ced4 binds and activates Ced3, an apoptotic initiator caspase, via caspase-associated recruitment domains (CARDs). Human Ced4 homologs include APAF1 (MIM 602233), NOD1 (CARD4; MIM 605980), and NOD2 (CARD15; MIM 605956). These proteins have at least 1 N-terminal CARD domain followed by a centrally located nucleotide-binding domain (NBD or NACHT) and a C-terminal regulatory domain, found only in mammals, that contains either WD40 repeats or leucine-rich repeats (LRRs). CARD12 is a member of the Ced4 family and can induce apoptosis.[supplied by OMIM][2]

Interactions

NLRC4 has been shown to interact with caspase 1[3][4] and NOD2.[3][4]
