Product Specifications

Background

FADD, Fas-Associated protein with Death Domain, is a universal adaptor protein in apoptosis that mediates signaling of all known death domain-containing members of the TNF receptor superfamily. The FADD gene contains 2 exons and spans approximately 3.6 kb. By analysis of somatic cell hybrid panels and by fluorescence in situ hybridization, the FADD gene is mapped to 11q13.3. The protein encoded by this gene is an adaptor molecule that interacts with various cell surface receptors and mediates cell apoptotic signals. Through its C-terminal death domain, this protein can be recruited by TNFRSF6/Fas-receptor, tumor necrosis factor receptor, TNFRSF25, and TNFSF10/TRAIL-receptor, thus, it participates in the death signaling initiated by these receptors.

Function

Apoptotic adaptor molecule that recruits caspase-8 or caspase-10 to the activated Fas (CD95) or TNFR-1 receptors. The resulting aggregate called the death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) performs caspase-8 proteolytic activation. Active caspase-8 initiates the subsequent cascade of caspases mediating apoptosis. Involved in interferon-mediated antiviral immune response, playing a role in the positive regulation of interferon signaling. .
