Rabbit Anti-FADD/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
FADD (Fas-associated protein with death domain) was originally isolated as a protein that bound to the cytoplasmic domain of Fas in the yeast two-hybrid system. Sequence analysis revealed a region homologous to the death domain of Fas and TNFR-1. Subsequent biochemical studies have shown that FADD associates with FAS through interaction of the death domains. When over expressed in several cell lines, FADD induces apoptosis, which can be blocked by CrmA, an inhibitor of inerleukin-1-beta-converting enzyme. This evidence suggests that FADD plays a role in Fas-mediated apoptosis.
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.
Subunit:
Can self-associate. Interacts with CFLAR, PEA15 and MBD4. When phosphorylated, part of a complex containing HIPK3 and FAS. May interact with MAVS/IPS1. Interacts with MOCV v-CFLAR protein and LRDD. Interacts (via death domain) with FAS (via death domain). Interacts with CASP8.
Tissue Specificity:
Expressed in a wide variety of tissues, except for peripheral blood mononuclear leukocytes.
DISEASE:
The interaction between the FAS and FADD death domains is crucial for the formation of the death-inducing signaling complex (DISC).
Defects in FADD are the cause of infections recurrent associated with encephalopathy hepatic dysfunction and cardiovascular malformations (IEHDCM) [MIM:613759]. A condition with biological features of autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome such as high-circulating CD4(-)CD8(-)TCR-alpha-beta(+) T-cell counts, and elevated IL10 and FASL levels. Affected individuals suffer from recurrent, stereotypical episodes of fever, encephalopathy, and mild liver dysfunction sometimes accompanied by generalized seizures. The episodes can be triggered by varicella zoster virus (VZV), measles mumps rubella (MMR) attenuated vaccine, parainfluenza virus, and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV).
Similarity:
Contains 1 death domain.
Contains 1 DED (death effector) domain.
