FLIP Antibody / c-FLIP

CASP8 and FADD-like apoptosis regulator, also called c-FLIP (FLICE-like inhibitory protein), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CFLAR gene. 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.
