Hi! What does Fas actually stand for? Couldn't find it anywhere, does anyone know that (at all)? Cheers —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.161.255.16 (talk • contribs)

Well in an intirely unscientific attempt, here's Google Answer's attempt: http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=492790 Down the bottom it gives FAS as "Apoptosis Stimulating Fragment", which I would be inclined to go for. A quick search of the scientific literature proved fruitless but I stress that it was very quick! Hope that helps -- Serephine talk - 02:55, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
