CARP1

CARP1, also known as CARD-containing protein 1, is a protein encoded by the CARP1 gene. This gene is found in humans and other mammals. CARP1 is a member of the CARP family of proteins, which are characterized by the presence of a CARD domain. The CARD domain is a protein-protein interaction module that is found in various signaling proteins involved in apoptosis and inflammation.

The exact function of CARP1 is still under investigation, but research suggests it plays a role in cellular processes. It has been implicated in regulating cell proliferation and differentiation. Studies have also explored its potential involvement in the development of certain diseases, though more research is needed to fully understand these connections. CARP1's expression levels have been observed to vary in different tissues and under different physiological conditions.
