Background
Apoptotic adaptor molecule that recruits caspase-8 or caspase-10 to the activated Fas (CD95) or TNFR-1 receptors. The resulting aggregate called the death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) performs caspase-8 proteolytic activation. Active caspase-8 initiates the subsequent cascade of caspases mediating apoptosis. Apoptotic adaptor molecule that recruits caspase-8 or caspase-10 to the activated Fas (CD95) or TNFR-1 receptors (PubMed:7538907, PubMed:23955153, PubMed:19118384, PubMed:20935634, PubMed:16762833, PubMed:24025841). The resulting aggregate called the death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) performs caspase-8 proteolytic activation (PubMed:7538907, PubMed:19118384, PubMed:20935634, PubMed:16762833). Active caspase-8 initiates the subsequent cascade of caspases mediating apoptosis (PubMed:16762833). Involved in interferon- mediated antiviral immune response, playing a role in the positive regulation of interferon signaling (PubMed:21109225).
