NLR family CARD domain-containing protein 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NLRC4 gene.In C. elegans Ced4 binds and activates Ced3 an apoptotic initiator caspase via caspase-associated recruitment domains (CARDs). Human Ced4 homologs include APAF1 (MIM 602233) NOD1 (CARD4; MIM 605980) and NOD2 (CARD15; MIM 605956).
