About CASP8AP2

Cytogenetic location: 6q15 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 6:89,829,880-89,874,436 (from NCBI)

This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 1 gene allele and 203 orthologues. Ubiquitous expression in lymph node (RPKM 5.6), testis (RPKM 4.6) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This protein is highly similar to FLASH, a mouse apoptotic protein identified by its interaction with the death-effector domain (DED) of Caspase 8. Studies of FLASH protein suggested that this protein may be a component of the death-inducing signaling complex that includes Fas Receptor, Fas-binding adapter FADD, and Caspase 8, and plays a regulatory role in Fas-mediated Apoptosis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding the same protein.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2008]
