Rabbit anti-Human NOD2 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q9HC29

Target Species

Human

Target Name

NOD2

Target Full Name

Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-containing protein 2

Target Function

Involved in gastrointestinal immunity. Upon stimulation by muramyl dipeptide (MDP), a fragment of bacterial peptidoglycan, binds the proximal adapter receptor-interacting RIPK2, which recruits ubiquitin ligases as XIAP, BIRC2, BIRC3, INAVA and the LUBAC complex, triggering activation of MAP kinases and activation of NF-kappa-B signaling. This in turn leads to the transcriptional activation of hundreds of genes involved in immune response. Required for MDP-induced NLRP1-dependent CASP1 activation and IL1B release in macrophages. Component of an autophagy-mediated antibacterial pathway together with ATG16L1. Plays also a role in sensing single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) from viruses. Interacts with mitochondrial antiviral signaling/MAVS, leading to activation of interferon regulatory factor-3/IRF3 and expression of type I interferon.

Target Involvement

Blau syndrome (BLAUS); Inflammatory bowel disease 1 (IBD1); Yao syndrome (YAOS)

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Membrane. Mitochondrion. Basolateral cell membrane.

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed in intestinal mucosa, mainly in Paneth cells and, at lower extent, in the glandular epithelium.

Target Background

This gene is a member of the Nod1/Apaf-1 family and encodes a protein with two caspase recruitment (CARD) domains and six leucine-rich repeats (LRRs). The protein is primarily expressed in the peripheral blood leukocytes. It plays a role in the immune response to intracellular bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) by recognizing the muramyl dipeptide (MDP) derived from them and activating the NFKB protein. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Crohn disease and Blau syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene.
