X-DING-CD4 |
xDR-M2 |
trypanosome apoptotic factor |
||
A receptor with a death domain identified in Xenopus laevis (Tamura et al, 2004). For a related protein (71.7 % identity) see: xDR-M2.
Overexpression of xDR-M1 induces cell death by apoptosis. The effect is blocked by ageneral serine protease inhibitor, but not by an inhibitor of caspase-8. Ishizawa YH et al (2006) have reported that xDR-M1 interacts with Xenopus laevis FADD, RIP1, and its splice variant RIP1-beta.
