Gene Description

FAS (CD95/APO-1/TNFRSF6) is a type I transmembrane death receptor for FAS ligand. Its extracellular region engages FASLG, while the intracellular death domain recruits FADD to assemble a death-inducing signaling complex and activate initiator caspases. This receptor pathway drives extrinsic apoptosis and contributes to the removal of activated lymphocytes. FAS signaling can also engage ASK1/JNK under glutamine deprivation in human HeLa cells. Alternative splicing yields products with different extracellular and intracellular sequences, including secreted variants reported to inhibit FAS-triggered apoptosis in cell assays and a reported tumor-associated membrane-containing variant lacking the death domain.

Functional Isoforms

Curated functional classes representing distinct biological activities. These may be splice variants, cleavage products, or other forms with different functions.

Full-length membrane FAS SPLICE VARIANT
ID: FAS_MEMBRANE
UNIPROT ISOFORM: P25445-1
Isoform 1 is the full-length type I membrane receptor whose death domain recruits FADD and assembles the CD95 DISC after FASLG binding.
Secreted soluble FAS isoforms SPLICE CLASS
ID: FAS_SOLUBLE
UNIPROT ISOFORM: P25445-2, P25445-3, P25445-4, P25445-5, P25445-6
UniProt groups isoforms 2–6 as secreted products, but their architectures differ. Isoforms 2–5 are short extracellular variants; isoform 6 deletes the membrane-anchor region while retaining the death-domain sequence. Soluble-variant expression studies report inhibition of FAS-triggered apoptosis. These results do not establish intact ligand-binding domains or a shared ligand-sequestration mechanism for every product.
FAS isoform lacking the death domain SPLICE VARIANT
ID: FAS_DELTA_DEATH_DOMAIN
UNIPROT ISOFORM: P25445-7
Isoform 7 retains the transmembrane segment but loses the death domain and much of the intracellular signaling region. The reported dominant-negative behavior derives from the FasExo8Del lymphoma-cell study; it is not a general normal-tissue expression result.

Proposed New Ontology Terms

FAS ligand receptor activity

Definition: Combining with extracellular FAS ligand (FASLG) and transmitting the signal across the plasma membrane to initiate apoptotic or necrotic cell death.

Justification: The live QuickGO term and child records checked on 2026-10-26 contain death receptor activity and ligand-specific TNF and TRAIL receptor children, but the Fas, CD95 and FASLG searches returned no equivalent FASLG-specific receptor molecular function. FAS is not the TNF-binding receptor defined by GO:0005031. The proposal distinguishes ligand specificity while retaining the current death receptor term; no GO identifier or NEW annotation is invented. Original FASLG-stimulated receptor-complex experiments support this receptor specificity. Reciprocal primary-screen signals from recombinant human FAS and FASLG ectodomain constructs provide direct interaction evidence for the ligand-specificity proposal (PMID:35922511). This screen does not supply a newly measured FAS-specific SPR affinity or a target-specific secondary-matrix validation.

MODIFY
Summary: FAS is an inherited death receptor in the experimentally grounded FAS clade; the literal TNF-cytokine specificity of this term is inappropriate.
Reason: The actual PTHR46874 tree places human P25445 below IBD node PTN002930185; its target alignment matches the canonical sequence and no family NOT was found. Human self-WITH is expected experimental grounding, not circularity. GO:0005031 specifies binding the TNF cytokine, whereas the inspected human PMID:12221075 Methods/Results use anti-CD95 to initiate receptor-dependent death. Rat PMID:16154149 concerns Fas/FasL-dependent Kupffer-cell apoptosis and does not establish TNF binding to FAS in its accessible abstract. The inherited death-receptor mechanism is sound; refine the ancestral functional scope to GO:0005035, which includes ligand-initiated apoptotic or necrotic death. The retained superfamily/provider quotations establish identity/context, not literal TNF ligand specificity.

Actual ancestral IBD is on the human target path, with experimentally grounded human self-WITH and rat descendant evidence.

GO:0045121 membrane raft
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: FAS has a regulated membrane-raft-associated pool.
Reason: The target descends from the actual PTN002930185 IBD node and the human self-WITH has direct grounding. PMID:21382479 fractionates human BEAS-2B cells using detergent-free sucrose gradients and detects FAS in raft fractions, with redistribution during prolonged hyperoxia. PMID:25301068 independently detects a FAS pool in detergent-resistant membrane fractions of human SW480 cells. These assays support raft association, not exclusive or permanent raft residence, and do not distinguish all natural isoforms.

We found that Cav-1 regulated Fas signaling and mediated the communication between extrinsic and intrinsic pathways. Shortly after hyperoxia (4 h), the colocalization and interaction of Cav-1 and Fas increased, followed by Fas multimer and DISC formation.
GO:0009897 external side of plasma membrane
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: The extracellular portion of membrane FAS is exposed at the cell surface.
Reason: The actual PTN002930185 assertion lies on the human target ancestry; the mouse and rat donor mappings were recovered. Rat PMID:17195944 was read only at abstract level and is not treated as a complete topology assay. Independent human intact-cell antibody staining and cold surface biotinylation in PMID:25301068, together with the official type-I FAS topology, support external exposure. The term describes the exposed receptor portion, not an assertion that its intracellular death domain is extracellular or that every natural product has this location.

GO:0006924 activation-induced cell death of T cells
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: FAS participates in activation-induced death of T cells through death-receptor signaling.
Reason: The actual PTN002930185 IBD is ancestral to human FAS, with mouse experimental descendants. The accessible donor abstracts PMID:12702495, PMID:7602121 and PMID:8640868 have distinct compartment, age and BCL2 contexts; they are not universal T-cell homeostasis experiments. The independently identified human PMID:7530335 abstract reports activated T-cell/Jurkat FasL induction and inhibition of activation-induced death by FAS blockade or soluble receptor. This well-established receptor role supports retention of the phylogenetic assertion despite incomplete donor full-text access; no target-specific loss is established.

GO:0031265 CD95 death-inducing signaling complex
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: FAS is the receptor component of the CD95 death-inducing signaling complex.
Reason: The human target lies below the actual PTN002930185 IBD; self-WITH is legitimate. PMID:20935634 examines reconstituted human FAS-DD/FADD-DD assemblies and interface-dependent signaling in human cells, while its crystal uses mouse FAS-DD with human FADD-DD. The actual Reactome entities independently contain P25445 in the FASL:FAS:FADD/procaspase complex. Retain DISC membership without imposing one fixed oligomeric stoichiometry or treating the receptor as a caspase enzyme. Rat PMID:16493077 was only abstract-read and is not used as a fully verified independent assembly experiment.
Supporting Evidence:

PMID:40330016
Upon binding to mFASL, FAS recruits the adaptor protein FAS-associated death domain (FADD), which recruits procaspase-8, procaspase-10, and cellular FLICE inhibitory protein (c-FLIP) via their homotypic death effector domain (DED), forming a membrane-bound death-inducing signaling complex (DISC)
file:human/FAS/FAS-deep-research-falcon.md
Upon ligand binding, conformational changes allow FAS DD engagement with **FADD**, which then recruits DED-containing proteins **procaspase-8/10** and **c-FLIP** isoforms to form the membrane-associated **DISC**; this supports procaspase-8 activation, which then activates effector caspases (e.g., caspase-3/-7) to execute apoptosis.
GO:0032872 regulation of stress-activated MAPK cascade
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: FAS ligation can regulate stress-activated MAPK signaling in a conditional apoptotic setting.
Reason: The actual ancestral IBD includes human experimental self-WITH. Original Methods/Results and Figure 2 caption of PMID:11096076 show anti-FAS stimulation of human HeLa cells activates ASK1 and JNK/SAPK during glutamine deprivation; p42/p44 MAPK responds in both glutamine conditions, whereas p38 phosphorylation was not detected. This is a conditional signaling output, not FAS kinase activity or a general non-apoptotic function. Retain as non-core.
Supporting Evidence:

Upon activation, FAS triggers signaling pathways such as NF-ΞΊB, MAPK, and PI3K/AKT through different mechanisms. These pathways regulate immune responses and promote cell proliferation, migration, and invasion by inducing the production of inflammatory factors and chemokines

A key contemporary view is that CD95 can also act as a **multifunctional signaling receptor**, activating programs such as **NF-ΞΊB** and **MAPK (ERK/JNK/p38)**, supporting outcomes including chemokine release and cellular migration/invasion in certain contexts.
GO:0043066 negative regulation of apoptotic process
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Soluble FAS products can inhibit FAS-triggered apoptosis in defined experimental settings.
Reason: The actual PTN002930185 ancestry is sound, but the donor assay is product-sensitive. The recovered original PMID:7595210 Methods, Results and Figure 2 caption describe murine FasB-expressing P815 clones and conditioned medium protecting against FasL-expressing 3T3 cells while surface FasA remains. Murine FasB has a distinct truncated architecture; it is not an assay of human isoforms 2–6. The preserved human PMID:7510905 evidence and official UniProt soluble-product annotation corroborate negative regulation at gene level. Retain this non-core output without claiming direct ligand sequestration was measured in the mouse experiment, identical mechanisms for every human product, or loss of the death domain from every soluble isoform.
Supporting Evidence:

GO:0097049 motor neuron apoptotic process
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: FAS can contribute to injury-associated motor-neuron apoptosis.
Reason: The actual PTN002930185 IBD is inherited by human FAS. Full original PMID:13679421 Methods/Results show Fas-mutant/deficient mouse motoneuron cultures and partial protection after neonatal facial-nerve axotomy; normal developmental motoneuron numbers were not altered in the tested mutants. FADD-DN also affects other death-receptor signaling, so the FAS-specific mutant experiments are distinguished from that broader perturbation. Retain the conserved, context-dependent output as non-core; this is not direct human motor-neuron evidence or a universal developmental requirement. The inherited PMID:7538907 quotation concerns FADD in other cell types and is not motor-neuron proof.
Supporting Evidence:

GO:0097527 necroptotic signaling pathway
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: FAS can initiate necroptotic signaling when the cellular death machinery favors this route.
Reason: The actual PTN002930185 IBD includes legitimate human and mouse-descendant evidence. Original PMID:21052097 Results, Figure 1 caption and Methods specify mouse L929sA cells engineered to express human FAS: anti-human FAS plus zVAD induces necrotic death sensitive to necrostatin-1. This is human-receptor evidence in a mouse host, not an endogenous mouse-Fas assay. Retain a conditional non-core output, separately from ordinary caspase-dependent apoptosis. The preserved PMID:7538908 quotation establishes RIP association and does not alone establish necroptosis; PMID:16507998 remains separate human-source corroboration with its direct-lane access limits.

GO:0033209 tumor necrosis factor-mediated signaling pathway
IEA
GO_REF:0000108
MODIFY
Summary: The electronic pathway inference carries literal TNF specificity from an overly specific molecular-function premise.
Reason: GO_REF:0000108 describes logical MF-to-BP propagation and this source explicitly uses GO:0005031. GO:0033209 is initiated by the TNF cytokine binding its receptor; membership in the TNF receptor superfamily does not establish that ligand specificity. Human anti-CD95 receptor assays in PMID:12221075 and FAS/FADD signaling in PMID:20935634 support the verified GO:0036337 Fas signaling pathway. Preserve the imported source fields and refine its biological assertion.
Proposed replacements: Fas signaling pathway
GO:0004888 transmembrane signaling receptor activity
IEA
GO_REF:0000002
TOO GENERAL
Summary: A supported receptor annotation subsumed by death receptor activity.
Reason: The target InterPro mapping and human receptor experiments support transmembrane signaling receptor activity. This broad claim is true but adds no functional coverage beyond death receptor activity (GO:0005035), retained by the reviewed phylogenetic and experimental replacements. Current QuickGO places GO:0005035 under GO:0004888. TOO_GENERAL preserves the positive source claim; it does not allege an erroneous domain mapping.
GO:0005516 calmodulin binding
IEA
GO_REF:0000043
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: FAS can bind calmodulin, with direct peptide-level structural and binding evidence.
Reason: PMID:24914971 Figure 1c reports FAS-peptide binding by SPR; deposited structure 3EWT contains human calmodulin and a synthetic 25-residue human FAS peptide. The main Methods/Results body was not accessible, so this does not establish full-receptor stoichiometry, a unique site, or a universal physiological regulatory mechanism. Retain the binding assertion as non-core. This inherited keyword-mapping source is absent from the fresh GOA snapshot, and the official GO_REF:0000043 description now restricts its pipeline to viruses; source lifecycle is assessed separately from this positive biological judgment. Historical source retained; retired only from the pinned current GOA active set (see the source guide), not judged biologically false or officially withdrawn.
GO:0005576 extracellular region
IEA
GO_REF:0000044
ACCEPT
Summary: FAS has extracellular soluble products in addition to its membrane receptor form.
Reason: The electronic source SL-0243 maps the official UniProt secreted-product annotation to extracellular region. Human soluble FAS evidence supports gene-level extracellular localization; the canonical membrane receptor should not be redescribed as freely soluble. UniProt lists isoforms 2–6 as secreted, but this mapping is not an independent secretion assay for each product. In particular, isoform 6 lacks the transmembrane segment while retaining the death-domain sequence; no universal intracellular-domain deletion is implied.
GO:0005886 plasma membrane
IEA
GO_REF:0000044
ACCEPT
Summary: Membrane FAS localizes to the plasma membrane.
Reason: The official UniProt SL-0039 mapping agrees with human intact-cell FAS flow cytometry and surface biotinylation in PMID:25301068 and HPA immunofluorescence. Retain the cellular location without asserting that only natural isoform 1 can be membrane-associated: isoform 7 retains the transmembrane sequence, while its measured localization requires separate evidence.
GO:0006915 apoptotic process
IEA
GO_REF:0000120
ACCEPT
Summary: FAS receptor signaling participates in apoptosis.
Reason: The historical combined electronic source integrated InterPro IPR008063 and apoptosis keyword KW-0053. The biological process is supported by human FAS-dependent death and DISC assays; the receptor supplies the signaling step rather than catalyzing proteolysis. Fresh context 62 now carries the same GO:0006915 assertion directly through InterPro. That source replacement is a lifecycle question, not evidence against apoptosis or a reason to alter the imported source fields. Historical source retained; retired only from the pinned current GOA active set (see the source guide), not judged biologically false or officially withdrawn.
GO:0006955 immune response
IEA
GO_REF:0000002
ACCEPT
Summary: FAS receptor signaling contributes to immune responses and activated-lymphocyte homeostasis.
Reason: The official IPR008063-to-GO:0006955 mapping is broad but biologically appropriate for a receptor that mediates activated T-cell death. Human activation-induced death evidence in PMID:7530335 supports an actual signaling role, rather than deriving function solely from disease association. This does not imply an indispensable role in every immune compartment.
GO:0007165 signal transduction
IEA
GO_REF:0000002
TOO GENERAL
Summary: Broad signal transduction is subsumed by the retained Fas signaling pathway.
Reason: The target InterPro entries IPR008063 and IPR000488 correctly support a signaling role. GO:0007165 is an ancestor of the retained Fas signaling pathway (GO:0036337), independently supported by human receptor stimulation in PMID:12221075 and PMID:11096076. The broad mapping adds no separate process coverage. TOO_GENERAL does not attribute kinase or caspase activity to FAS or claim that the domain mapping is false.
GO:0009986 cell surface
IEA
GO_REF:0000117
ACCEPT
Summary: The membrane receptor has experimentally supported cell-surface exposure.
Reason: Historical ARBA00027349 still contains a matching clause (zero-based 29: FunFam 2.10.50.10:FF:000021 plus Euteleostomi); the official FAS sequence record supplies both conditions. Human intact-cell labeling and surface biotinylation in PMID:25301068 support the location. Its absence from the fresh GOA export does not demonstrate withdrawal of the rule or a false biological claim. Keep the historical source intact pending explicit lifecycle reconciliation. Historical source retained; retired only from the pinned current GOA active set (see the source guide), not judged biologically false or officially withdrawn.
GO:0016020 membrane
IEA
GO_REF:0000002
ACCEPT
Summary: FAS includes membrane-associated receptor products.
Reason: The actual IPR008063 family and InterPro2GO mapping support this broad CC and agree with direct human surface measurements. Retain the broad electronic annotation without treating it as an assertion about all seven natural products or exclusive localization of isoform 1.
GO:0031265 CD95 death-inducing signaling complex
IEA
GO_REF:0000117
ACCEPT
Summary: FAS is part of the CD95 DISC.
Reason: The actual ARBA00086566 rule has a matching zero-based clause 0 requiring FunFam 2.10.50.10:FF:000021 and Eukaryota, both present in the official target record. Human FAS/FADD assembly evidence and recursively resolved Reactome FAS-containing complexes support this assertion. Retain complex membership without a fixed oligomeric stoichiometry or a universal isoform assignment.
GO:0042981 regulation of apoptotic process
IEA
GO_REF:0000117
ACCEPT
Summary: FAS receptor signaling regulates apoptosis, with product-dependent inhibitory effects also reported.
Reason: Historical ARBA00027086 still contains a matching zero-based clause 54 for FunFam 2.10.50.10:FF:000021. Human receptor activation and soluble-product evidence support the broad regulatory term. This does not require every soluble isoform to have the same architecture or inhibitory mechanism. Current GOA absence alone is insufficient to call this rule withdrawn; historical source lifecycle remains separate. Historical source retained; retired only from the pinned current GOA active set (see the source guide), not judged biologically false or officially withdrawn.
GO:0045121 membrane raft
IEA
GO_REF:0000044
ACCEPT
Summary: FAS has a regulated membrane-raft-associated pool.
Reason: The official UniProt SL-0370 mapping is consistent with actual human raft fractionation in PMID:21382479 and detergent-resistant membrane fractionation in PMID:25301068. The pool is dynamic and not the exclusive receptor location; neither assay establishes a natural-isoform-specific restriction.
GO:0097191 extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway
IEA
GO_REF:0000117
ACCEPT
Summary: FAS initiates the extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway.
Reason: The actual ARBA00028297 rule has matching zero-based clause 1 requiring the target FunFam and Eukaryota. FAS-dependent human death and FAS/FADD complex experiments directly support the receptor signaling step. FAS recruits the signaling machinery; downstream caspases execute proteolysis.

Summary: FAS self-association is supported by the exact curated FAS–FAS interaction record.
Reason: The saved IntAct record EBI-494924 is an exact positive human FAS–FAS two-hybrid association for PMID:7536190: both participants are UniProtKB:P25445 and both species are human. Together with the independently supported FAS self-association in PMID:21382479 and PMID:7538908, this supports the gene-level identical-protein-binding claim. The original operative paper experiment and figure pixels were not recovered, so its construct details are not independently certified here. The inherited quotation describes FADD self-association and is preserved only as an inherited anchor; it does not support this FAS–FAS row. That misplaced review anchor is not evidence of an upstream IntAct source defect.

Summary: HPA cell-line immunofluorescence supports plasma-membrane localization of FAS.
Reason: The actual HPA FAS XML and subcellular page report supported plasma-membrane staining with antibody HPA027444 in A-431 and U-251 MG cells; the corresponding images were inspected. Cytosolic and nuclear-body signals are also recorded, so the assay does not establish exclusive membrane localization. The antigen is an N-terminal FAS region and does not resolve natural isoforms. This is cell-line immunofluorescence evidence, not a claim that only isoform 1 was assayed.

Summary: FAS contributes the receptor death domain to the CD95 DISC.
Reason: Original reconstitution, interface mutagenesis, human-cell FRET and Jurkat death assays support FAS–FADD complex assembly. The crystal uses mouse FAS death domain with human FADD; human biochemical/cellular experiments provide separate target evidence. Exact stoichiometry is assay-specific.

TOO GENERAL
Summary: A positive FAS signaling context is already represented more specifically.
Reason: The accessible original abstract describes cell-surface FAS–FASL-dependent apoptosis and MYC-dependent sensitization downstream of receptor activation. Signal transduction is true but subsumed by the retained GO:0036337 Fas signaling pathway. This specificity judgment uses the positive abstract and independent receptor evidence; it does not claim access to the original full Methods/Results, a particular natural isoform, or a transcriptional activity of FAS.

Summary: The gene-level signaling-receptor assertion is refined to death receptor activity.
Reason: The complete original PMID:7533181 abstract explicitly introduces Fas/Apo-1 as an apoptosis-signaling cell-surface antigen. This NAS row has no isoform restriction, so its gene-level signaling-receptor claim is refined to the independently established death receptor activity (GO:0005035), consistent with the other receptor context. The same abstract studies human FasTMDel, FasDel2 and FasDel3 transcripts, COS-cell expression and soluble-product inhibition; those observations do not establish death-receptor signaling by every soluble product. Full operative Methods/Results remain unavailable. No natural isoform is assigned, and no membrane-receptor assay is represented as an assay of a soluble product.

Core Functions

Membrane FAS binds extracellular FASLG and recruits FADD through its intracellular death domain, forming a receptor signaling complex that activates initiator caspases and drives extrinsic apoptosis. The full-length product contains the membrane anchor and intracellular signaling region required for this activity.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: In the human soluble-product expression contexts studied in PMID:7533181 and PMID:8648105, how does the retained downstream death-domain sequence of TMdel/isoform 6 contribute, if at all, to inhibition compared with the shorter ectodomain products? Sequence retention alone does not establish that contribution.

Q: Does the dominant-negative FasExo8Del phenotype reported in mutation-bearing HUT78 clones (PMID:8598453) extend to other defined human cellular contexts at endogenous abundance? This question concerns generalization of that tumor-cell result, not a claim that the product is uncharacterized or normally expressed in every tissue.

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Compare sequence-verified TMdel/isoform 6 with the shorter soluble products and with a matched deletion of its retained death-domain region. In the human-cell expression context being tested, measure expression, secretion, receptor surface abundance, agonist binding and FASLG-triggered FADD/caspase-8 recruitment and apoptosis separately. Normalize soluble-product abundance and distinguish antibody inhibition from natural-ligand inhibition; the historical expression phenotypes do not by themselves identify a common inhibitory mechanism.

Hypothesis: The protective phenotype of TMdel/isoform 6 may depend on features beyond simply lacking most of the membrane anchor.

Type: Controlled isoform comparison with localization, interaction and signaling readouts

Experiment: Compare the sequence-verified FasExo8Del variant and full-length receptor at matched, measured expression ratios in HUT78 and a second defined human lymphoid cell context. Measure surface localization, receptor association, FADD recruitment and caspase activation after FASLG stimulation. Use the reported resistant HUT78 phenotype as a positive comparator, without presuming normal-tissue expression or a universal mechanism.

Hypothesis: FasExo8Del inhibition may depend on expression ratio and cellular context.

Type: Context and dose comparison of an established tumor-associated variant
