MeSH definition : A conserved protein interaction domain of the death domain superfamily that is structurally
similar to the DEATH EFFECTOR DOMAIN and CASPASE RECRUITMENT DOMAIN. Death domains
bind each other to form oligomers and occur on DEATH DOMAIN RECEPTORS, where they
are required for APOPTOSIS signaling and non-apoptotic functions.;
