Summary
Fadd interacts with Trim21 to negatively regulate the late Ifna pathway in response to viral infections. Fadd enhances Trim21 ubiquitin ligase activity to repress Ifna activation in SeV infected cells. In addition, Fadd with Trim21 can ubiquitinate Irf7 and change its phosphorylation state, consequently interfering with the activity of Traf6.
Fadd preserves epithelial barrier integrity and antibacterial defence, maintains homeostasis and prevents chronic intestinal inflammation.
Upon cleavage, Fadd oligomerizes and activates the caspase cascade to induce killing of tumour cells and intracellular pathogens by innate effector natural killer cells. (Demonstrated in human)
Fadd deficiency induces severe inflammatory skin lesions in mice, revealing a protective role for Fadd in epidermal keratinocytes.
InnateDB Annotation from Orthologs
Summary
[Homo sapiens] FADD is an adaptor protein involved in death receptor-mediated apoptosis and a physiological negative regulator of IRAK1/MyD88-dependent responses in innate immune signalling.
[Homo sapiens] FADD is part of the viral product dsRNA-triggered death inducing signalling complexes (dsRNA-DISCs) containing TRADD and CASP8.
[Homo sapiens] FADD interacts with TRIM21 to negatively regulate the late IFNA pathway in response to viral infections. FADD enhances TRIM21 ubiquitin ligase activity to repress IFNA activation in SeV infected cells.

Entrez Gene
Summary This gene does not have any Entrez summary - the following is the summary from its human ortholog ENSG00000168040:
The protein encoded by this gene is an adaptor molecule that interacts with various cell surface receptors and mediates cell apoptotic signals. Through its C-terminal death domain, this protein can be recruited by TNFRSF6/Fas-receptor, tumor necrosis factor receptor, TNFRSF25, and TNFSF10/TRAIL-receptor, and thus it participates in the death signaling initiated by these receptors. Interaction of this protein with the receptors unmasks the N-terminal effector domain of this protein, which allows it to recruit caspase-8, and thereby activate the cysteine protease cascade. Knockout studies in mice also suggest the importance of this protein in early T cell development. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
