Protein Information

Description

Protein function:

Receptor for TNFSF6. The adaptor molecule FADD recruits Caspase-8 to the activated receptor. The resulting death-inducing signaling complex performs Caspase-8 proteolytic activation which initiates the subsequent cascade of caspases (aspartate-specific cysteine proteases) mediating apoptosis. Fas-mediated apoptosis may have a role in the induction of peripheral tolerance, in the antigen-stimulated suicide of mature T-cells, or both. The secreted isoforms 2 to 6 block apoptosis (in vitro).

Subcellular location:

Type I membrane protein (isoform 1); secreted (isoforms 2 to 6).

Alternative products:

6 isoforms: 1, 2/del2/d, 3/del3/e, 4/b, 5/c and 6/tmdel/a are produced by alternative splicing.
