Summary
CFLAR confers protection against cytoplasmic dsRNA-mediated cell death and down-regulates IRF3- and NFkB-mediated gene expression. In addition, CFLAR also negatively regulates LPS-induced TLR4-signalling in endothelial cells and protects against TLR4-mediated apoptosis. (Demonstrated in murine model)

Summary
[Mus musculus] Cflar confers protection against cytoplasmic dsRNA-mediated cell death and down-regulates Irf3- and NFkB-mediated gene expression. In addition, Cflar also negatively regulates LPS-induced Tlr4-signalling in endothelial cells and protects against Tlr4-mediated apoptosis.
Entrez Gene
Summary The protein encoded by this gene is a regulator of apoptosis and is structurally similar to caspase-8. However, the encoded protein lacks caspase activity and appears to be itself cleaved into two peptides by caspase-8. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene, and partial evidence for several more variants exists. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]
