Summary: Enables signaling adaptor activity. Involved in several processes, including hematopoietic or lymphoid organ development; positive regulation of CD8-positive, alpha-beta cytotoxic T cell extravasation; and regulation of apoptotic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in absence of ligand; motor neuron apoptotic process; and negative regulation of necroptotic process. Predicted to be located in cell body; cytosol; and plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of CD95 death-inducing signaling complex and ripoptosome. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; immune system; and liver and biliary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in immunodeficiency 90 and leukemia. Orthologous to human FADD (Fas associated via death domain). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
