Target
FLIP (CFLAR)
(CASP8 and FADD-Like Apoptosis Regulator (CFLAR))
Apoptosis is related to many diseases and induced by a family of cell death receptors and their ligands. Cell death signals are transduced by death domain (DD)- containing adapter molecules and members of the ICE/CED-3 protease family. Caspases-8 (FLICE) and -10 (FLICE2) are two pivotal members in the ICE/CED-3 protease family. FLICE-inhibitory proteins were identified in virus and human and designated v-FLIPs and FLIP, respectively1,2. The human FLIP was also cloned by several labs independently and termed Casper , I-FLICE, FLAME-1, CASH and CLARP3-7. FLIP contains two death effector domains (DEDs) 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 c-FLIPs have been identified and termed FLIPalpha, beta, gamma, and delta, respectively (8).Synonyms: CASH, CASP8 and FADD-like apoptosis regulator, CASP8AP1, CLARP, Caspase homolog, Caspase-eight-related protein, Caspase-like apoptosis regulatory protein, Cellular FLICE-like inhibitory protein, FADD-like antiapoptotic molecule 1, FLAME-1, Inhibitor of FLICE, MACH-related inducer of toxicity, MRIT, Usurpin, c-FLIP
