Summary
PMID 19076343
CARD9 signalling mediates mammalian innate immune responses against selected fungi, bacteria, and viruses and can prime and shape adaptive immunity. CARD9 plays an essential role in downstream signalling of the antifungal pattern-recognition receptor CLEC7A (Dectin-1).
PMID 20351059
CARD9 is critical for full activation of innate immunity by converging signals downstream of multiple pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and plays a pivotal role in autonomous innate host defence against tuberculosis.

Summary
PMID 20351059
[Mus musculus] Card9 is critical for full activation of innate immunity by converging signals downstream of multiple pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and plays a pivotal role in autonomous innate host defense against tuberculosis.
PMID 24379290
[Mus musculus] Card9 is largely dispensable for the innate immune response to oropharyngeal candidiasis whereas it is vital for the adaptive Th17 response.
PMID 26627732
[Mus musculus] Card9-mediated activation of the innate immune system exacerbates influenza pneumonia. Card9 deficiency improves mortality with reduced inflammatory cytokine/chemokines.
Entrez Gene
Summary The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the CARD protein family, which is defined by the presence of a characteristic caspase-associated recruitment domain (CARD). CARD is a protein interaction domain known to participate in activation or suppression of CARD containing members of the caspase family, and thus plays an important regulatory role in cell apoptosis. This protein was identified by its selective association with the CARD domain of BCL10, a postive regulator of apoptosis and NF-kappaB activation, and is thought to function as a molecular scaffold for the assembly of a BCL10 signaling complex that activates NF-kappaB. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed, but their full-length nature is not clearly defined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
