Gene: CRADD
Alternate names for this Gene: MRT34|RAIDD
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein containing a death domain (DD) motif. This protein recruits caspase 2/ICH1 to the cell death signal transduction complex, which includes tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1A) and RIPK1/RIP kinase, and acts in promoting apoptosis. A mutation in this gene was associated with cognitive disability. A related pseudogene is found on chromosome 3. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 12
Location in Chromosome : 12q22
Description of this Gene: CASP2 and RIPK1 domain containing adaptor with death domain
Type of Gene: protein-coding
