The layout of this reaction may differ from that in the pathway view due to the constraints in pathway layout

Monomeric caspase-8 zymogens undergo dimerization and subsequent conformational changes at the TRAIL:TRAIL receptor-2:FADD receptor complex leading to the formation of the catalytically active form of procaspase-8.
