The apoptosis is initiated via two distinct signaling mechanisms, known as the cell-intrinsic and cell-extrinsic pathways, control activation of the proapoptotic caspase family of cysteine proteases in both mammals and non-mammals. The intrinsic pathway responds primarily to developmental cues or cellular damage and triggers apoptosis through the Bcl-2 gene family and the initiator protease caspase-9. The extrinsic pathway mediates apoptosis in response to Fas ligand (FasL) and Apo2L/TRAIL, which signal respectively through the death domain (DD)- containing receptors Fas or death receptor (DR)4 and DR5. Eight DD-containing TNFR superfamily members were identified in zebrafish. zDR6 (Tnfrsf-21) is one of the six of these which can be matched with mammalian orthologs based on the architecture of their extracellular domains (ECDs), a dendrogram of their DDs, and conserved synteny with human counterparts.
