GENE AND PROTEIN SUMMARY

Gene name

CFLAR

Description

CASP8 and FADD-like apoptosis regulator

Protein class

Candidate cancer biomarkers, Mapped to UniProt SWISS-PROT, Peptidases, Potential transmembrane proteins

Protein evidence

High

Entrez gene summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a regulator of apoptosis and is structurally similar to caspase-8. However, the encoded protein lacks caspase activity and appears to be itself cleaved into two peptides by caspase-8. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene, and partial evidence for several more variants exists. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]
