This invention provides a novel purified mammalian protein designated FADD
having the ability to bind the cytoplasmic region or domain of the Fas
receptor. Also provided are nucleic acid molecules that encode the
mammalian protein which binds the intracellular domain of Fas as well as
methods for using the proteins and nucleic acid molecules.
