| Tissue Specificity | Expressed in a wide variety of tissues, except for peripheral blood mononuclear leukocytes. |
| Post Translational Modifications | (Microbial infection) Glycosylated at Arg-117 by enteropathogenic E.coli protein NleB1, C.rodentium protein NleB and S.typhimurium protein Ssek1: arginine GlcNAcylation prevents recruitment of caspase-8 or caspase-10 to the activated Fas (CD95) or TNFR-1 receptors. |
| Function | Apoptotic adapter molecule that recruits caspases CASP8 or CASP10 to the activated FAS/CD95 or TNFRSF1A/TNFR-1 receptors. The resulting aggregate called the death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) performs CASP8 proteolytic activation. Active CASP8 initiates the subsequent cascade of caspases mediating apoptosis. Involved in interferon-mediated antiviral immune response, playing a role in the positive regulation of interferon signaling. |
