NOD1 Antibody (2A10)

The monoclonal antibody 2A10 recognizes human Nod1. The innate immune system is the first line of defense against pathogens using various pattern recognition receptors (PRR). PRRs include toll-like receptors (TLRs), nucleotide-biding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptors (NLRs) and retinoic acid-inducible (RIG)-I-like receptors (RLR). The Nod-like receptor (NLR) family of proteins consists of cytosolic pattern recognition molecules involved in sensing microbial and danger signals and triggering innate immune activation. The founding members of NLRs are Nod1 and Nod2. These intracellular receptors recognize peptidoglycans. The receptor consists of three main domains. The C-terminal site recognizes the ligand via the leucin-rich repeat domain (LRR). The NOD domain facilitates the selfoligomerization and contains the ATPase activity. The N-terminal site is the caspase-recruitement domain (CARD). Proteoglycans are polymers composed of glycan chains of alternating N-acylglucosamine (GlcNAc) and N-acetylmuramic acid (MurNAc) units cross-linked to each other by short peptides. The cross-linking of two parallel glycan chains is mediated by stem peptides that can be further linked by bridging amino acids. For activation of the immune system, Nod2 senses muramyl dipeptide (MDP), which is found in the PGN of nearly all Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms, whereas Nod1 recognizes meso-diaminopimelic acid (meso-DAP)-containing PGN fragments. Stimulation of Nod1 or Nod2 results in the activation of NF-kappaB and MAPKs, through a homophilic interaction with the adaptor kinase, Rip2. Thereby driving the transcription of numerous genes involved in both innate and adaptive immune responses. Nod1 is widely expressed in many cell types and organs. Nod1 is associated with a susceptibility to inflammatory diseases, including asthma and atopic eczema and allergic diseases
