Death domain-containing protein CRADD is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CRADD gene.[1][2][3]

Function

The protein encoded by this gene is a death domain (CARD/DD)-containing protein and has been shown to induce cell apoptosis. Through its CARD domain, this protein interacts with, and thus recruits, caspase 2/ICH1 to the cell death signal transduction complex that includes tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1A), RIPK1/RIP kinase, and numbers of other CARD domain-containing proteins.[3]

Interactions

CRADD has been shown to interact with RIPK1[1][2] and Caspase 2.[1][4][5]
