Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-containing protein 1, also known as CARD4, is a protein receptor that in humans is encoded by the NOD1 gene. NOD1 is a member of NOD-like receptor protein family and is a close relative of NOD2. NOD1 is mapped to 7p14.3. It recognizes bacterial molecules and stimulates an immune reaction. NOD1 protein contains a caspase recruitment domain (CARD). This gene is an intracellular pattern recognition receptor, which is similar in structure to resistant proteins of plants, and mediates innate and acquired immunity by recognizing bacterial molecules containing D-glutamyl-meso-diaminopimelic acid (iE-DAP) moiety. It has been shown that NOD1 can sense cytosolic microbial products by monitoring the activation state of small Rho GTPases.

Applications
Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution
Western Blot: 0.1-0.5ug/ml, the detection limit is ~0.2ng/lane under reducing conditions. Immunohistochemistry (paraffin): 0.5-1ug/ml, boiling the paraffin sections in 10mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0, for 20 mins is required for the staining of formalin/paraffin sections. Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability
Lyophilized and reconstituted products are stable for 12 months after receipt at -20°C. Reconstitute with sterile ddH2O. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
Immunogen
Recombinant protein corresponding to human CARD4 expressed in E. coli. (Position: M1-M160). Species sequence homology: mouse (82%)
Form
