We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.
Cell death protein
From Proteopedia
Cell death proteins or Programmed cell death protein or CD279 (CED) are involved in the process of cellular apoptosis. CED-1 is a T cell regulator. CED-1 is expressed on the surface of T cells, B cells and macrophages. It is a membrane protein and acts in suppressing the immune system during pregnancy, tissue allografts, autoimmune diseases and hepatitis. CED-1 has 2 ligands: CED-L1 and CED-L2. Formation of CED-1/CED-L1 complex reduces T cell proliferation at the lymph nodes. For details on CED-4 see CED-4 Apoptosome.
