Facts about Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 6.
Initiates fratricidal/suicidal activation-induced cell death (AICD) in antigen-activated T-cells contributing to the termination of immune responses (By similarity). TNFRSF6/FAS-mediated apoptosis has also a role in the induction of peripheral tolerance (By similarity).

Cell membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. Cytoplasmic vesicle lumen. Lysosome lumen. Is internalized into multivesicular bodies of secretory lysosomes after phosphorylation by FGR and monoubiquitination (PubMed:17164290). Colocalizes with the SPPL2A protease at the cell membrane (PubMed:17557115).; [Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 6, soluble form]: Secreted. May be released into the extracellular fluid by cleavage from the cell surface.; [FasL intracellular domain]: Nucleus. The FasL ICD cytoplasmic form is translocated into the nucleus.
