Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables peptidase activator activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of myoblast fusion; skeletal muscle atrophy; and skeletal myofibril assembly. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway; negative regulation of necroptotic process; and response to bacterium. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; gut; heart; peripheral nervous system ganglion; and retina. Orthologous to human CFLAR (CASP8 and FADD like apoptosis regulator).
