FAF1

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]

Fas Associated Factor 1

Ubiquitin-binding protein (PubMed:19722279).

Required for the progression of DNA replication forks by targeting DNA replication licensing factor CDT1 for degradation (PubMed:26842564).

Potentiates but cannot initiate FAS-induced apoptosis (By similarity).
