Aliases
CD95; APO-1; FAS1; APT1; TNFRSF6 
Common name
Fas cell surface death receptor 

Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection
Entry selected based on indirect or inconclusive evidence linking the gene product to ageing in humans or in one or more model systems
Description

FAS encodes multiple transcripts involved in apoptosis and development. It is also related to cancer progression. The expression level of FAS changes during ageing [937], and there are some results correlating FAS with age-related changes [1170]. Nonetheless, polymorphisms in human FAS have not been associated with human longevity [935].
