Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables CARD domain binding activity. Involved in several processes, including antifungal innate immune response; positive regulation of MAPK cascade; and positive regulation of cytokine production. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including positive regulation of JNK cascade; regulation of cytokine production; and response to bacterium. Part of CBM complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary immunodeficiency disease. Orthologous to human CARD9 (caspase recruitment domain family member 9).
