Bio Background |
This gene encodes a member of the TNF receptor associatedfactor (TRAF) family. TRAF proteins are associated with, andmediate signal transduction from members of the TNF receptorsuperfamily. The encoded protein has been shown to interact withneurotrophin receptor, p75 (NTR/NTSR1), and negatively regulate NTRinduced cell death and NF-kappa B activation. This protein has beenfound to bind to p47phox, a cytosolic regulatory factor included ina multi-protein complex known as NAD(P)H oxidase. This proteinthus, is thought to be involved in the oxidative activation ofMAPK8/JNK. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have beenobserved but the full-length nature of only one has beendetermined. |
