Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-containing protein 2 (NOD2), also known as caspase recruitment domain-containing protein 15 (CARD15) or inflammatory bowel disease protein 1 (IBD1), is a

peptidoglycans) and stimulates an immune reaction.[7]

NOD2 is an intracellular pattern recognition receptor, which is similar in structure to resistant proteins of plants and recognizes molecules containing the specific structure called muramyl dipeptide (MDP) that is found in certain bacteria.[8]

Structure

NOD2 protein model consisting two N-terminal CARD domains (red) connected via helical linker (blue) with central NOD domain (green). At C-terminus LRR domain (cyan) is located[9]

The

CARD domains known to play a role in apoptosis and NF-κB activation pathways.[10]

Function

This gene is a member of the

leukocytes. It plays a role in the immune response by recognizing the bacterial molecules which possess the muramyl dipeptide (MDP) moiety and activating the NF-κB protein.[11]

Clinical significance

Mutations in this gene have been associated with Crohn's disease,[9] Blau syndrome, severe pulmonary sarcoidosis[12] and Graft-versus-host disease.[13]

The NOD2 gene is linked to inflammatory diseases such as Inflammatory bowel disease/Crohn's disease, Yao Syndrome and Blau syndrome.[14][15]

Interactions

NOD2 has been shown to interact with NLRC4.[16][17]

NOD2 has also been shown to bind to

MAVS in response to ssRNA or viral RNA treatment and activate the IFN response. This is the first report of NOD2 acting as a pattern-recognition receptor for viruses.[18]
