DESCRIPTION

Also known as CFLAR_HUMAN, CFLAR, CASH, CASP8AP1, CLARP, MRIT. Apoptosis regulator protein which may function as a crucial link between cell survival and cell death pathways in mammalian cells. Acts as an inhibitor of TNFRSF6 mediated apoptosis. A proteolytic fragment (p43) is likely retained in the death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) thereby blocking further recruitment and processing of caspase-8 at the complex. Full length and shorter isoforms have been shown either to induce apoptosis or to reduce TNFRSF-triggered apoptosis. Lacks enzymatic (caspase) activity. TNFRSF6 stimulation triggers recruitment to the death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) formed by TNFRSF6, FADD and CASP8 (PubMed:9880531). A proteolytic fragment (p43) stays associated with the DISC (PubMed:9880531). Also interacts with FADD, CASP8, CASP3, TRAF1, TRAF2 and Bcl-X(L) (in vitro) (PubMed:9326610, PubMed:9208847). Interacts with RIPK1 (By similarity) (PubMed:9326610, PubMed:9208847, PubMed:9880531).
