basic FUNCTION
| may play a positive role in AHR-mediated (aromatic hydrocarbon receptor) signaling |
|
acting as a cellular negative regulator of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) X protein |
|
inhibits glucocorticoid receptor by reducing its responsiveness to hormone in transcriptional activation (requires its interaction with Hsp90 through the TPR motif)(Laenger 2009) |
|
reduce ubiquitination of the receptor and to regulate its subcellular distribution (Laenger 2009) |
|
involved in the development of pituitary tumors, especially involving the somatomammotroph lineage (Cazabat 2009) |
|
expression of AIP in hepatocytes is essential to maintain high levels of functional cytosolic AHR protein in the mammalian liver, and expression of the AIP protein is essential for dioxin-induced hepatotoxicity |
|
has a major role in the pathogenesis of familial isolated pituitary adenoma, but is rarely involved in parathyroid adenomas  |
|
AIP is a novel inhibitor of IRF7 and a negative regulator of innate antiviral signaling  |
|
AIP mutations affect the AIP protein level and alter AHR transcriptional activity in a gene- and tissue-dependent manner  |
|
encodes for a co-chaperone protein endowed with tumor suppressor properties in somatotroph cells  |
