Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable death domain binding activity; protease binding activity; and protein-macromolecule adaptor activity. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of apoptotic signaling pathway. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; central nervous system; genitourinary system; heart; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive intellectual developmental disorder 34. Orthologous to human CRADD (CASP2 and RIPK1 domain containing adaptor with death domain).
