Caspase recruitment domains or Caspase activation and recruitment domains (CARDs) are interaction motifs found in a wide array of proteins typically those involved in processes relating to inflammation and apoptosis. These domains mediate the formation of larger protein complexes via direct interactions between individual CARDs. CARD domains are found on a strikingly wide range of proteins including helicases kinases mitochondrial proteins caspases and other cytoplasmic factors.
