Interaction Information:

Comment In mutant SOD1G93A and SOD1G85R, but not in control motoneurons, the upregulation of FasL results in activation of Fas, leading through Daxx to phosphorylation of p38 and further NO synthesis by upregulation of nNOS. This Fas/NO feedback amplification loop is required for motoneuron death in vitro.
