Rabbit anti-Human RAIDD/CRADD Monoclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P78560

Target Species

Human

Target Name

CRADD

Target Full Name

Death domain-containing protein CRADD

Target Function

Adapter protein that associates with PIDD1 and the caspase CASP2 to form the PIDDosome, a complex that activates CASP2 and triggers apoptosis. Also recruits CASP2 to the TNFR-1 signaling complex through its interaction with RIPK1 and TRADD and may play a role in the tumor necrosis factor-mediated signaling pathway.

Target Involvement

Mental retardation, autosomal recessive 34, with variant lissencephaly (MRT34)

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Nucleus.

Target Tissue Specificity

Constitutively expressed in most tissues, with particularly high expression in adult heart, testis, liver, skeletal muscle, fetal liver and kidney.

Target Research Area

Apoptosis

Target Synonyms

CASP2 and RIPK1 domain containing adaptor with death domain ; Caspase and RIP adapter with death domain; Caspase and RIP adaptor with death domain ; Cradd; CRADD_HUMAN; Death adaptor molecule RAIDD ; Death domain containing protein CRADD ; Death domain-containing protein CRADD; MGC9163; RIP associated ICH1/CED3 homologous protein with death domain ; RIP associated protein with a death domain ; RIP-associated protein with a death domain

Target Background

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.
