BCL10, B-cell CLL/lymphoma 10, gene was identified by its translocation in a case of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue(MALT) lymphoma. The BCL10 gene is mapped to chromosome 1p22. The protein encoded by this gene contains a caspase recruitment domain(CARD), and has been shown to induce apoptosis and to activate NF-kappaB. This protein is reported to interact with other CARD domain containing proteins including CARD9, 10, 11 and 14, which are though to function as upstream regulators in NF-kappaB signaling. This protein is found to form a complex with MALT1, a protein encoded by another gene known to be translocated in MALT lymphoma. MALT1 and this protein are though to synergize in the activation of NF-kappaB, and the deregulation of either of them may contribute to the same pathogenetic process that leads to the malignancy.
