    motifs/domains
  • extracytoplasmic cysteine-rich pseudorepeats typical for the TNFR superfamily
  • a preligand assembly domain (PLAD) in CRD1 mediating ligand-independent receptor assembly and signaling
  • a small cytoplasmic domain
  • the DEATH domain, soluble form
  • mono polymer homomer , trimer

    basic FUNCTION
  • required for genome stability and tumor avoidance
  • inhibiting FasL induced apoptosis
  • probable ATP-dependent DNA helicase
  • may be contributing to cell growth and tumor progression
  • involved in both antigen-presenting cell differentiation and lymphocyte function
  • can antagonize homologous recombination at an early stage, after strand invasion, and could promote synthesis-dependent strand annealing
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell life, differentiation
    cell life, antiapoptosis
