CARD10 (Caspase Recruitment Domain-containing Protein 10, CARD-containing MAGUK Protein 3, Carma 3, CARMA3)

CARMA proteins are scaffold molecules that belong to the membrane-associated guanylate kinase-like (MAGUK) and the caspase-associated recruitment domain (CARD) protein families. They play critical role in antigen receptor signaling pathways. CARMA1, CARMA2, and CARMA3 share homologous sequence and function but are found in different tissues. CARMA1 is predominantly located in lymphoid tissue. CARMA1 protein associates with lipid rafts and interacts with Bcl10, that is required for activation of TCR induced NFkB signaling pathway. Specifically, CARMA1 N-terminal CARD domain binds to Bcl10 CARD motif. It is also essential for protein- induced IL-2 and INF-g production. CARMA genes deactivation studies in mice resulted in reduced immunoglobulin levels and absence of TCR-induced NFkB activation. This suggests that CARMA mutations may lead to adaptive and innate immunity malfunction.\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry and Immunoprecipitation. Other applications not tested.\n\nRecommended Dilution:\nWestern Blot: 0.5-2ug/ml\nImmunoprecipitation: 3-5ug/extract from 10e7 cells\nImmunohistochemistry: 2.5-20ug/ml (10ug/ml-optimal)\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nStorage and Stability:\nMay be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
