A family of intracellular signaling adaptor proteins that contain CASPASE ACTIVATION AND RECRUITMENT DOMAINS (CARD). They play a role in APOPTOSIS-related signal transduction by associating with other CARD domain-containing members and activating INITIATOR CASPASES that contain CARD domains within their N-terminal pro-domain region.
Also Known As:
