Description

TRADD (TNFRSF1A Associated via Death Domain) encodes a death domain-containing adaptor protein that interacts with TNF receptor 1 (TNFR1) to mediate signaling for apoptosis, NF-kB activation, and inflammation. It is a critical component of the TNFR1 signaling complex and plays roles in cell survival and death decisions.

Mutation functional classification

Loss of Function (LOF)

Nonsense mutations leading to truncated protein and impaired TNFR1 signaling.

Gain of Function (GOF)

Not well documented; potential missense variants may enhance NF-kB activation.

Dominant Negative (DN)

Some truncating mutations may interfere with wild-type TRADD function.

Pathways

• TNF signaling pathway (KEGG: hsa04668)
• Apoptosis (KEGG: hsa04210)
• NF-kB signaling pathway (Reactome: R-HSA-73887)

Protein Summary

TRADD is a 312-amino acid adaptor protein containing a death domain. It binds to the cytoplasmic tail of TNFR1 upon ligand stimulation, recruiting downstream effectors such as FADD and TRAF2 to mediate apoptosis and NF-kB activation. It is ubiquitously expressed and essential for TNF-induced signaling.
