Entry term(s) receptor de muerte
receptores de dominios letales
Scope note: Familia de receptores de la superficie celular que señalizan a través de un dominio conservado que se extiende hasta el CITOPLASMA celular. El dominio conservado recibe la denominación de DOMINIO DE MUERTE porque muchos de estos receptores se hallan implicados en la señalización de la APOPTOSIS. Varias PROTEÍNAS ADAPTADORAS DE SEÑALIZACIÓN DE RECEPTORES DE DOMINIOS DE MUERTE pueden unirse a los dominios de muerte de los receptores activados y, a través de una serie compleja de interacciones, activar los mediadores apoptóticos tales como las CASPASAS.

Scope note: A family of cell surface receptors that signal via a conserved domain that extends into the cell CYTOPLASM. The conserved domain is referred to as a DEATH DOMAIN due to the fact that many of these receptors are involved in APOPTOSIS signaling pathways. Several DEATH DOMAIN RECEPTOR SIGNALING ADAPTOR PROTEINS can bind to the death domains of the activated receptors and through a complex series of interactions activate apoptotic mediators such as CASPASES.
