Abstract
The Fas associated Death Domain (FADD) is an adaptor protein that predominantly transduces apoptosis signal from death receptor (DR) to activate caspases, leading to the initiation of apoptotic signaling and the coordinated removal of damaged, infected, or unwanted cells. In addition to its apoptotic functions, FADD is involved in signaling pathways related to autophagy, cell proliferation, necroptosis, and cellular senescence, indicating its versatile role in cell survival and proliferation. The subcellular localization and intracellular expression of FADD play a crucial role in determining its functional outcomes, thereby highlighting the importance of spatiotemporal mechanisms and regulation. Furthermore, FADD has emerged as a key regulator in inflammatory signaling, contributing to immune responses and cellular homeostasis. This review provides a comprehensive summary and analysis of cellular dynamics of FADD in regulating of programmed cell death and inflammation through distinct molecular mechanisms associated with various signaling pathways.
