  Domain Name: Death_FADD
Fas-associated Death Domain protein-protein interaction domain. Death domain (DD) found in FAS-associated via death domain (FADD). FADD is a component of the death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) and serves as an adaptor in the signaling pathway of death receptor proteins. It modulates apoptosis as well as non-apoptotic processes such as cell cycle progression, survival, innate immune signaling, and hematopoiesis. FADD contains an N-terminal DED and a C-terminal DD. Its DD interacts with the DD of the activated death receptor, FAS, and its DED recruits the initiator caspases, caspase-8 and -10, to the DISC complex via a homotypic interaction with the N-terminal DED of the caspase. DDs are protein-protein interaction domains found in a variety of domain architectures. Their common feature is that they form homodimers by self-association or heterodimers by associating with other members of the DD superfamily including CARD (Caspase activation and recruitment domain), DED (Death Effector Domain), and PYRIN. They serve as adaptors in signaling pathways and they can recruit other proteins into signaling complexes.
No pairwise interactions are available for this conserved domain.
