Also known as: FLASH; D4Ertd659e
Summary: Enables cysteine-type endopeptidase activator activity involved in apoptotic process; identical protein binding activity; and protease binding activity. Acts upstream of or within extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway via death domain receptors and positive regulation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Predicted to be active in PML body and mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including brain ventricular layer; incisor; inner cell mass; renal calyx; and submandibular gland primordium. Orthologous to human CASP8AP2 (caspase 8 associated protein 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

the functional interaction of E2A and FLASH play an important role in cell proliferation and cellular senescence via regulation of p21 expression in experimental glomerulonephritis.
Title: A Novel Interaction between FLICE-Associated Huge Protein (FLASH) and E2A Regulates Cell Proliferation and Cellular Senescence via Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF)-Alpha-p21WAF1/CIP1 Axis.
Data suggest that SUMO targets FLASH for proteasome-dependent degradation, which is associated with recruitment of FLASH to PML bodies.
Title: SUMO regulates proteasome-dependent degradation of FLASH/Casp8AP2.
Data show that homozygous deletion of FLASH results in early embryonic lethality.
Title: FLASH is essential during early embryogenesis and cooperates with p73 to regulate histone gene transcription.
This enzyme has an essential role in T-cell homeostasis and T-cell-mediated immunity.

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.
