Fas signaling pathway involves activating apoptosis (programmed cell death). This happens through the interaction of Fas receptor and Fas ligand. As mentioned, Fas ligand/FasL is a type II transmembrane protein that can exist in both membrane-anchored and soluble forms. The interaction between FasR on an adjacent cell and membrane anchored FasL leads to the trimerization, forming the death-inducing signaling complex (DISC). 
Upon ensuing death domain (DD) aggregation, the receptor complex is internalized via the cellular endosomal machinery. This allows the adaptor molecule Fas-associated death domain (FADD) to bind the death domain (DD) of Fas through its own death domain (DD). FADD also contains a death effector domain (DED) near its amino terminus, which facilitates binding to the DED of FADD-like ICE (FLICE), more commonly referred to as caspase-8. FLICE can then self-activate through proteolytic cleavage into p10 and p18 subunits, of which two form the active heterotetramer enzyme. Active caspase-8 is then released from the DISC into the cytosol, where it cleaves other effector caspases, eventually leading to DNA degradation, membrane blebbing, and other hallmarks of apoptosis.
Some reports have suggested that the extrinsic Fas pathway is sufficient to induce complete apoptosis in certain cell types through death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) assembly and subsequent caspase-8 activation.  These cells are dubbed Type 1 cells and are characterized by the inability of anti-apoptotic members of the Bcl-2 family (namely Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL) to protect from Fas-mediated apoptosis. Characterized Type 1 cells include H9, CH1, SKW6.4, and SW480, all of which are lymphocyte lineages except for SW480, which is of the colon adenocarcinoma lineage.
Moreover, the pathways in the Fas signal cascade exhibit evidence for crosstalk. In most cell types, caspase-8 catalyzes the cleavage of the pro-apoptotic BH3-only protein Bid into its truncated form, tBid. BH-3 only members of the Bcl-2 family engage exclusively anti-apoptotic members of the family (Bcl-2, Bcl-xL), allowing Bak and Bax to translocate to the outer mitochondrial membrane, thus permeabilizing it and facilitating release of pro-apoptotic proteins such as cytochrome c and Smac/DIABLO, an antagonist of inhibitors of apoptosis proteins (IAPs). 
Additionally, the c-FLIP protein, structurally resembling caspase-8 but lacking enzymatic activity, plays a dual role in Fas-induced apoptosis. At low concentrations, c-FLIP is believed to promote caspase-8 activation. There is a possibility it is because caspase-8 binds to c-FLIP with higher affinity than to itself (caspase-8 homo-dimerization). However, at high concentrations, c-FLIP reduces the proteolytic activity of caspase-8, potentially by competing for binding to FADD. This dual role underscores the complexity of Fas signaling and its regulation by c-FLIP at different concentrations.
