Descriptor dominio de muerte
Entry term(s) dominios de la muerte
Scope note: Dominio conservado de interacción con proteínas perteneciente a la superfamilia del dominio de muerte, que es estructuralmente similar al DOMINIO EFECTOR DE MUERTE y al DOMINIO DE INCORPORACIÓN DE CASPASA. Los dominios de la muerte se unen entre ellos para formar oligómeros y están presentes en los RECEPTORES DE DOMINIOS DE MUERTE, donde son necesarios tanto para señalar la APOPTOSIS como para funciones no relacionadas con la apoptosis.

RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D000071459
Scope note: A conserved protein interaction domain of the death domain superfamily that is structurally similar to the DEATH EFFECTOR DOMAIN and CASPASE RECRUITMENT DOMAIN. Death domains bind each other to form oligomers and occur on DEATH DOMAIN RECEPTORS, where they are required for APOPTOSIS signaling and non-apoptotic functions.
