Human gene encoding CDV3 protein
CDV3 (gene)
The CDV3 gene, also known as Caspase recruitment domain family member 3, is a gene in humans that encodes a protein involved in various cellular processes. This gene is located on chromosome 3 and is expressed in multiple tissues throughout the body.
Function
The protein encoded by the CDV3 gene is involved in cell signaling pathways that regulate apoptosis, or programmed cell death. It plays a crucial role in maintaining cellular homeostasis and preventing the proliferation of damaged cells. The CDV3 protein is part of the caspase recruitment domain (CARD) family, which is known for its role in mediating interactions between proteins involved in apoptotic and inflammatory processes.
Structure
The CDV3 protein contains a CARD domain, which is a protein interaction module that facilitates the assembly of signaling complexes. This domain is essential for the protein's function in apoptosis and inflammation. The structure of the CDV3 protein allows it to interact with other CARD-containing proteins, thereby influencing various signaling pathways.
Expression
CDV3 is ubiquitously expressed in human tissues, with higher expression levels observed in the immune system, particularly in lymphocytes and macrophages. This widespread expression pattern suggests that CDV3 plays a fundamental role in immune regulation and cellular stress responses.
Clinical Significance
Mutations or dysregulation of the CDV3 gene can lead to impaired apoptotic processes, which may contribute to the development of certain diseases, including cancer and autoimmune disorders. Understanding the function and regulation of CDV3 is important for developing therapeutic strategies targeting these conditions.
Research
Ongoing research is focused on elucidating the precise mechanisms by which CDV3 influences apoptosis and inflammation. Studies are also exploring the potential of CDV3 as a biomarker for disease diagnosis and prognosis, as well as a target for novel therapeutic interventions.
