This gene encodes an adaptor protein that is composed of two protein-protein interaction domains: a N-terminal PYRIN-PAAD-DAPIN domain (PYD) and a C-terminal caspase-recruitment domain (CARD). The PYD and CARD domains are members of the six-helix bundle death domain-fold superfamily that mediates assembly of large signaling complexes in the inflammatory and apoptotic signaling pathways via the activation of caspase. In normal cells, this protein is localized to the cytoplasm; however, in cells undergoing apoptosis, it forms ball-like aggregates near the nuclear periphery. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
PYCARD (PYD And CARD Domain Containing) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with PYCARD include Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis and Muckle-Wells Syndrome. Among its related pathways are Nucleotide-binding domain, leucine rich repeat containing receptor (NLR) signaling pathways and Pathogenic Escherichia coli infection. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include protein homodimerization activity and ion channel binding. An important paralog of this gene is PYDC1.
