Function

This protein is highly similar to FLASH, a mouse apoptotic protein identified by its interaction with the death-effector domain (DED) of caspase 8. Researches of FLASH protein suggested that this protein may be a component of the death-inducing signaling complex, that includes Fas receptor, Fas-binding adapter FADD, and caspase 8, and plays a regulatory role in Fas-mediated apoptosis.

Interactions

CASP8AP2 has been shown to interact with TRAF2.{{cite journal | vauthors = Choi YH, Kim KB, Kim HH, Hong GS, Kwon YK, Chung CW, Park YM, Shen ZJ, Kim BJ, Lee SY, Jung YK | title = FLASH coordinates NF-kappa B activity via TRAF2 | journal = J.
