CASP8 and FADD like apoptosis regulator | CASH, CLARP, Casper, FLAME, FLIP, I-FLICE, MRIT, c-FLIP, cFLIP, CASP8AP1

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]

CFLAR — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating CFLAR 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for CFLAR. The Binding column indicates whether any binding evidence exists for this TF–gene pair (ChIP-seq or motif footprint peaks). The Mean coef is the average Perturb-seq regression coefficient across active gRNAs (positive = CFLAR upregulated upon KD; negative = downregulated). The Outlier column indicates whether this gene is in the top or bottom 5% of all TF knockdown effects.

Elements linked to CFLAR

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of CFLAR, linked by TSS proximity or chromatin conformation (Multiome / HiCAR). Each element overlaps at least one TF ChIP-seq binding site — the TFs column shows how many distinct TFs bind that element.
