1.A.14.3.16
Protein lifeguard-2 (LFG, LFG2, NMP2, NMP35, TMBIM2), Fas-apoptotic inhibitory molecule 2 (FAIM2) is of 316 aas with 7 TMSs. It is an antiapoptotic protein which protects cells uniquely from Fas-induced apoptosis and regulates Fas-mediated apoptosis in neurons by interfering with caspase-8 activation (Somia et al. 1999; Fernández et al. 2007). It is a member of the transmembrane BAX inhibitor motif-containing (TMBIM) family. The TMBIM family is comprised of six anti-apoptotic proteins that suppress cell death by regulating endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ homeostasis. It localizes to the lysosome and facilitates autophagosome-lysosome fusion through the LC3 interaction region (Hong et al. 2020).
