ARC: Proteins and Enzymes

ARC [Apoptosis Repressor with CARD (Caspase-recruitment Domain)] is a 29 kDa cytosolic protein containing an N-terminal CARD joined to a C-terminal region rich in proline and glutamic acid. The expression of human ARC is primarily restricted to skeletal muscle and cardiac tissue. ARC inhibits apoptosis induced by Caspase-8.
