Proposed mechanism for cytosolic FXR inhibiting death receptors engaged apoptosis. FXR physically interacts with CASP8 in the cytoplasm. Apoptotic stimulation leads to rapid FXR downregulation and DISC formation. Enhanced association between FXR and CASP8 precludes DISC formation and CASP8 activation, thereafter preventing apoptosis.
