About FAF1

Cytogenetic location: 1p32.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 1:50,437,028-50,960,267 (from NCBI)

This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 213 orthologues and 4 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in testis (RPKM 31.0), thyroid (RPKM 14.4) and 25 other tissues.

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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
