Product Overview
| Tag | His |
| Host Species | Human |
| Accession | NM_003824 |
| Synonym | GIG3, MORT1, MGC8528 |
| Background | FADD or Fas-Associated protein with Death Domain is an adaptor molecule that mediates death signaling by the Fas-receptor, tumor necrosis factor receptor and TRAIL-receptor. FADD binds to these receptors via the C-terminus Death Domain which then unmasks the N-terminal effector domain of FADD thereby allowing it to recruit caspase-8 and activate the cysteine protease cascade leading to apoptosis (1). Cells lacking FADD are defective in intracellular double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-activated gene expression, including production of type I (alpha/beta) interferons and are thus very susceptible to viral infection (2). |

Target Details
| Target 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. |
