Summary: Predicted to enable cytokine activity; death receptor binding activity; and tumor necrosis factor receptor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway via death domain receptors and retinal cell programmed cell death. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; hemolymphoid system gland; reproductive system; and trophectoderm. Used to study autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome and type 1 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including cholangiocarcinoma; chronic myeloid leukemia; diabetes mellitus (multiple); pancreatic cancer (multiple); and pre-eclampsia (multiple). Orthologous to human FASLG (Fas ligand). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
