DescriptionA transmembrane glycoprotein of 532 amino acids, which has a molecular mass ranging from 75 to 115 kDa. ICAM-1 is a member of the immunoglobulin supergenge family, and contains five extracellular immunoglobulin-like domains.
Daxx was originally identified as a protein factor that binds to a transmembrane receptor called Fas (FAS/APO-1/CD95), one member of the ▶ tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily (Yang et al. 1997). The extracellular region of Fas is where its ligand, FasL, binds. The intracellular tail shares sequence similarity with another member of the TNF receptor family, TNF receptor I (TNFRI). The shared sequence is termed death domain for its critical role in signaling cell death upon ligand binding.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
