MeSH definition : A homotypic protein interaction module of the death domain superfamily that is composed
of a bundle of six alpha-helices. The death effector domain shares sequence and structural
similarities with the DEATH DOMAIN and CASPASE RECRUITMENT DOMAIN. It occurs in many
proteins with essential functions in APOPTOSIS.;
