Summary: Enables peptidase activator activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of myoblast fusion; positive regulation of NF-kappaB transcription factor activity; and skeletal muscle atrophy. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity; negative regulation of programmed cell death; and response to bacterium. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; gut; heart; peripheral nervous system ganglion; and retina. Orthologous to human CFLAR (CASP8 and FADD like apoptosis regulator).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
