PROTEIN

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	a collagen-like domain comprising 19 GXX triplets and a EC1 domain composing with a triple helical domain, activating EDA1 by multimerization, whereas the proteoglycan-binding domain may restrict the distribution of endogeneous EDA1
	a stalk region including two consecutive consensus furin cleavage sequences
	a proteolytic processing site responsible for its conversion to a soluble form
	a C terminal extracellular EC2 with three cysteine residues, a trimeric TNF homology domain (THD) that binds the receptor EDAR

HOMOLOGY

interspecies

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
	plasma membrane
	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,organelle,membrane
	intracellular,cytoplasm,organelle,endoplasmic reticulum
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytoskeleton
text	type 2 membrane protein that can be cleaved by furin to produce a secreted form and that binds to EDAR

basic FUNCTION	regulating the function of epithelial signaling centers
	involved in regulation of cell-cell or cell-matrix interaction
	paracrine signaling role in hair, tooth and skin sweat gland development
	a regulatory role in both the NF-kappa-B and JNK pathways
	may be involved in development of the human dentition, especially of anterior teeth, but not posterior teeth
	EDA signaling is needed for the determination and development of various skin appendages at spatiotemporally restricted intervals
	EDA and WNT pathways are required for salivary gland branching morphogenesis
	is a unique regulator of embryonic and prepubertal ductal morphogenesis
	is a unique mesenchymal factor regulating embryonic and prepubertal mammary gland morphogenesis through activation of EDAR/NFKB in the epithelium

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

development , immunity/defense

text	skin and appendages

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

signal transduction

	TNF signaling to the target cells through activation of the NF-kappa B system of transcriptional regulation through IKB
	EDA/EDAR/NF-kappaB signaling pathways in initiation and maintenance of primary hair follicle placodes
	ectodysplasin (EDA) pathway is essential for the formation and function of several ectodermal organs

a component

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	EDAR (isoform EDA-A1)
	EDA regulates growth and branching of the submandibular salivary gland (SMG) via transcription factor NFKB in the epithelium, and the hedgehog pathway is an important mediator of EDA/NFKB
	NFKB regulates embryonic and prepubertal ductal development and is essential for EDA-induced accelerated branching morphogenesis
	FOXI3 is a likely transcriptional target of EDA in ectodermal appendage placodes suggesting that hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) phenotype may in part be produced by compromised FOXI3 activity
