Functional characterization of two novel 5' untranslated exons reveals a complex regulation of NOD2 protein expression

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>NOD2 is an innate immune receptor for the bacterial cell wall component muramyl-dipeptide. Mutations in the leucine-rich repeat region of NOD2, which lead to an impaired recognition of muramyl-dipeptide, have been associated with Cro...
