What is the name of the protein that acts as an intracellular adaptor in the extrinsic "death pathway"

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

FADD (Fas-associated protein with death domain) is the intracellular adapter protein that binds to the death domain of the death receptors (such as Fas) and recruits procaspase 8 to form the death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) in the extrinsic pathway of apoptosis. Bak and Bax are pro-apoptotic members of the Bcl-2 protein family that are involved in the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis. Procaspase 8 is cleaved to form activated caspase 8, which is responsible for initiating the extrinsic pathway of apoptosis.
