Function
Might function by either activating some proteins required for cell death or inactivating proteins necessary for cell survival. Associates with PIDD1 and CRADD to form the PIDDosome, a complex that activates CASP2 and triggers apoptosis in response to genotoxic stress. Involved in the activation cascade of caspases responsible for apoptosis execution.
KEGG Pathway
