Fas associated factor family member 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FAF2 gene. ^[5]

Function[edit]

The protein encoded by this gene is highly expressed in peripheral blood of patients with atopic dermatitis (AD), compared to normal individuals. It may play a role in regulating the resistance to apoptosis that is observed in T cells and eosinophils of AD patients. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
