Gene: FAF1
Alternate names for this Gene: CGI-03|HFAF1s|UBXD12|UBXN3A|hFAF1
Gene Summary: Interaction of Fas ligand (TNFSF6) with the FAS antigen (TNFRSF6) mediates programmed cell death, also called apoptosis, in a number of organ systems. The protein encoded by this gene binds to FAS antigen and can initiate apoptosis or enhance apoptosis initiated through FAS antigen. Initiation of apoptosis by the protein encoded by this gene requires a ubiquitin-like domain but not the FAS-binding domain.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 1
Location in Chromosome : 1p32.3
Description of this Gene: Fas associated factor 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
