Allgemeine Beschreibung
The protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) ligand family. This protein is a ligand for the FN14/TWEAKR receptor. This cytokine has overlapping signaling functions with TNF, but displays a much wider tissue distribution. This cytokine can induce apoptosis via multiple pathways of cell death in a cell type-specific manner. This cytokine is also found to promote proliferation and migration of endothelial cells, and thus acts as a regulator of angiogenesis. Some transcripts that skip the last exon of this gene and continue with the second exon of the neighboring TNFSF13 gene have been identified; such read-through transcripts are contained in GeneID 407977, TNFSF12-TNFSF13.

Biochem/physiol Actions
Apoptotic protease activating factor 1 is a human homolog of C. elegans CED-4 gene and is a key regulator gene of apoptosis. It acts as a central component of the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis. Loss of APAF-1 expression is involved with chemorefractory malignant melanoma and neuronal cell differentiation. Over expression of this gene is related to an undifferentiated state in the testicular germ cell tumor (TGCT) pathway and is involved in carcinogenesis of germ cell tumors. APAF-1, when bound to cytochrome c, may trigger the activation of caspase-3 leading to apoptosis.
