Background
TNF receptor associated factor 4(TRAF4) Homo sapiens This gene encodes a member of the TNF receptor associated factor (TRAF) family. TRAF proteins are associated with, and mediate signal transduction from members of the TNF receptor superfamily. The encoded protein has been shown to interact with neurotrophin receptor, p75 (NTR/NTSR1), and negatively regulate NTR induced cell death and NF-kappa B activation. This protein has been found to bind to p47phox, a cytosolic regulatory factor included in a multi-protein complex known as NAD(P)H oxidase. This protein thus, is thought to be involved in the oxidative activation of MAPK8/JNK. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed but the full-length nature of only one has been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
Function
domain:The coiled coil domain mediates homo- and hetero-oligomerization.,domain:The MATH/TRAF domain binds to receptor cytoplasmic domains.,function:Adapter protein and signal transducer that links members of the tumor necrosis factor receptor family to different signaling pathways by association with the receptor cytoplasmic domain and kinases. Seems to mediate activation of NF-kappa-B and JNK and seems to be involved in apoptosis. May play a role in the development of respiratory tract.,similarity:Contains 1 MATH domain.,similarity:Contains 1 RING-type zinc finger.,similarity:Contains 3 TRAF-type zinc fingers.,subunit:Homotrimer (Probable). Associates with LTBR/TNFRSF3 and NGFR/TNFRSF16. Interacts with TGFB1I1.,tissue specificity:Expressed in epithelial cells of thymus, dendritic cells of lymph node, and in the basal cell layer of epithelia such as epidermis, nasopharynx, respiratory t
