Q14790

FUNCTION: On ligand binding, forms a receptor complex consisting of two type II and two type I transmembrane serine/threonine kinases. Type II receptors phosphorylate and activate type I receptors which autophosphorylate, then bind and activate SMAD transcriptional regulators. Receptor for activin A, activin B and inhibin A (PubMed:17911401). Mediates induction of adipogenesis by GDF6 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P27038, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1314589, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17911401}.FUNCTION: Thiol protease that plays a key role in programmed cell death by acting as a molecular switch for apoptosis, necroptosis and pyroptosis, and is required to prevent tissue damage during embryonic development and adulthood (PubMed:23516580, PubMed:8681376, PubMed:8681377, PubMed:9006941, PubMed:9184224, PubMed:8962078, PubMed:35446120, PubMed:35338844). Initiator protease that induces extrinsic apoptosis by mediating cleavage and activation of effector caspases responsible for the TNFRSF6/FAS mediated and TNFRSF1A induced cell death (PubMed:23516580, PubMed:8681376, PubMed:8681377, PubMed:9006941, PubMed:9184224, PubMed:8962078, PubMed:35446120, PubMed:35338844). Cleaves and activates effector caspases CASP3, CASP4, CASP6, CASP7, CASP9 and CASP10 (PubMed:8962078, PubMed:9006941, PubMed:16916640). Binding to the adapter molecule FADD recruits it to either receptor TNFRSF6/FAS mediated or TNFRSF1A (PubMed:8681376, PubMed:8681377). The resulting aggregate called death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) performs CASP8 proteolytic activation (PubMed:9184224). The active dimeric enzyme is then liberated from the DISC and free to activate downstream apoptotic proteases (PubMed:9184224). Proteolytic fragments of the N-terminal propeptide (termed CAP3, CAP5 and CAP6) are likely retained in the DISC (PubMed:9184224). In addition to extrinsic apoptosis, also acts as a negative regulator of necroptosis: acts by cleaving RIPK1 at 'Asp-324', which is crucial to inhibit RIPK1 kinase activity, limiting TNF-induced apoptosis, necroptosis and inflammatory response (PubMed:31827280, PubMed:31827281). Also able to initiate pyroptosis by mediating cleavage and activation of gasdermin-C and -D (GSDMC and GSDMD, respectively): gasdermin cleavage promotes release of the N-terminal moiety that binds to membranes and forms pores, triggering pyroptosis (PubMed:32929201, PubMed:34012073). Initiates pyroptosis following inactivation of MAP3K7/TAK1 (By similarity). Also acts as a regulator of innate immunity by mediating cleavage and inactivation of N4BP1 downstream of TLR3 or TLR4, thereby promoting cytokine production (By similarity). May participate in the Granzyme B (GZMB) cell death pathways (PubMed:8755496). Cleaves PARP1 and PARP2 (PubMed:8681376). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O89110, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16916640, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23516580, ECO:0000269|PubMed:31827280, ECO:0000269|PubMed:31827281, ECO:0000269|PubMed:32929201, ECO:0000269|PubMed:34012073, ECO:0000269|PubMed:35338844, ECO:0000269|PubMed:35446120, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8681376, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8681377, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8755496, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8962078, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9006941, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9184224}.; FUNCTION: [Isoform 5]: Lacks the catalytic site and may interfere with the pro-apoptotic activity of the complex. {ECO:0000305|PubMed:8681376}.; FUNCTION: [Isoform 6]: Lacks the catalytic site and may interfere with the pro-apoptotic activity of the complex. {ECO:0000305|PubMed:8681376}.; FUNCTION: [Isoform 7]: Lacks the catalytic site and may interfere with the pro-apoptotic activity of the complex (Probable). Acts as an inhibitor of the caspase cascade (PubMed:12010809). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12010809, ECO:0000305|PubMed:8681376}.; FUNCTION: [Isoform 8]: Lacks the catalytic site and may interfere with the pro-apoptotic activity of the complex. {ECO:0000305|PubMed:8681376}.
