CRADD CASP2 and RIPK1 domain containing adaptor with death domain

Gene ID: 8738, updated on 28-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: MRT34; RAIDD

Summary

This gene encodes a protein containing a death domain (DD) motif. This protein recruits caspase 2/ICH1 to the cell death signal transduction complex, which includes tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1A) and RIPK1/RIP kinase, and acts in promoting apoptosis. A mutation in this gene was associated with cognitive disability. A related pseudogene is found on chromosome 3. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
