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. [1] CED-1 and CED-L1 complex with glycerol</scene> (3bik).
  • CED-3 is a cysteine protease involved in apoptosis[2].
  • CED-4 attenuates tumorigenesis by translational contro[3]. lFor details on CED-4 see CED-4 Apoptosome. <scene name='50/507728/Cv/2'>[4].
  • CED-5 can accelerate apoptosis in different kinds of cells in response to different stimuli[5].
  • For details on CED-8 see Apoptosis-inducing factor.
