Anti-LRDD/PIDD1 Antibody

P53-induced protein with a death domain (PIDD/LRDD) is a component of the PIDDosome. PIDD contains 910 residues with 7 leucine rich repeats (LRRs), 2 ZU-5 domains and a C-terminal death domain (DD) . PIDD can be cleaved into shorter fragments generating a PIDD-N fragment of 48 kD (residues 1-446), a PIDD-C fragment of 51 kD (residues 447-910) and a PIDD-CC fragment of 37 kD (residues 589-910) . Auto-cleavage of PIDD determines the downstream signaling events. The PIDD-C fragment mediates activation of NFκB via the recruitment of RIP1 and NEMO, while PIDD-CC causes caspase-2 activation, which leads to apoptosis.
