Function

Apoptosis regulator protein which may function as a crucial link between cell survival and cell death pathways in mammalian cells. Acts as an inhibitor of TNFRSF6 mediated apoptosis. A proteolytic fragment (p43) is likely retained in the death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) thereby blocking further recruitment and processing of caspase-8 at the complex. Full length and shorter isoforms have been shown either to induce apoptosis or to reduce TNFRSF-triggered apoptosis. Lacks enzymatic (caspase) activity. {PubMed:9880531}.

Target Background

Caspase-8 (FLICE) and -10 (FLICE2) are two pivotal members of the ICE/CED-3 protease family. FLICE-inhibitory proteins have been identified in viruses and human cells and are designated v-FLIPs and FLIP, respectively. Human FLIP was cloned by several independent laboratories and designated Casper, I-FLICE, FLAME-1, CASH, and CLARP. FLIP contains two death effector domains and a caspase-like domain. FLIP interacts with adapter protein FADD and caspase-8 and -10 and potently inhibits apoptosis induced by all known death receptors. Four splice variants of FLIPs have been identified and designated.
