TRADD, Tumor necrosis factor receptor type 1-associated DEATH domain protein, TNFR1-associated DEATH domain protein, TNFRSF1A-associated via death domain
The protein encoded by this gene is a death domain containing adaptor molecule that interacts with TNFRSF1A/TNFR1 and mediates programmed cell death signaling and NF-kappaB activation. This protein binds adaptor protein TRAF2, reduces the recruitment of inhibitor-of-apoptosis proteins (IAPs) by TRAF2, and thus suppresses TRAF2 mediated apoptosis. This protein can also interact with receptor TNFRSF6/FAS and adaptor protein FADD/MORT1, and is involved in the Fas-induced cell death pathway. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],domain:Requires the intact DEATH domain to associate with TNFRSF1A/TNFR1.,function:Adapter molecule for TNFRSF1A/TNFR1 that specifically associates with the cytoplasmic domain of activated TNFRSF1A/TNFR1 mediating its interaction with FADD. Overexpression of TRADD leads to two major TNF-induced responses, apoptosis and activation of NF-kappa-B.,similarity:Contains 1 death domain.,subunit:Heterodimer with TNFRSF1A/TNFR1. Interacts with DAB2IP, FADD, HIPK2, KRT14, KRT16, KRT17, KRT18, RIPK1, SQSTM1, TRAF1, TRAF2 and TRPC4AP.,tissue specificity:Found in all examined tissues.,
