General description

FAS-associated death domain protein (UniProt: Q13158; also known as FAS-associating death domain-containing protein, Growth-inhibiting gene 3 protein, Mediator of receptor induced toxicity, Protein FADD) is encoded by the FADD (also known as MORT1, GIG3) gene (Gene ID: 8772) in human. FADD is an apoptotic adaptor molecule that bridges death receptor signaling to the caspase cascade. It is expressed in a wide variety of tissues, except for peripheral blood mononuclear leukocytes. FADD contains a death domain at its C-terminus and a death effector domain (DED) at its N-terminal. The death domain is responsible for FADD binding to the activated trimerized Fas receptor. FADD recruits procaspase-8 through its N-terminal DED, which is then activated following the cleavage of pro domain. The death inducing signaling complex (DISC) formed by Fas receptor, FADD, and caspase-8 is essential in triggering apoptotic events in cells. Human FADD is phosphorylated mainly at Ser194. Defects in FADD gene have been linked to recurrent infections, hepatic dysfunction, and cardiovascular malformations. These subjects display high circulating levels of CD4(-) and CD8(-) cells and elevated levels of IL-10.
