    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in regulating response to cytokines by members of the REL/NFKB transcription factor family in response to pathogens
  • recruited to CD40 and TNFRSF13B indirectly, which is mediated by TRAF3 through the TRAF binding site in TRAF3IP2 (
  • modulates the survival of autoreactive B cells mainly through its negative regulatory role in TNFSF13B-mediated cell survival
  • essential adaptor molecule in IL17-mediated signaling and is recruited to the IL17 receptor (IL17R) upon IL17 stimulation through an interaction between its SEFIR domain and that of the IL17R
  • mediates IL17-induced signaling pathways through its E3 ubiquitin ligase activity
  • essential role of epithelial-derived TRAF3IP2 in allergic pulmonary inflammation through the distinct impact of the IL17R-TRAF3IP2 and IL25R-TRAF3IP2 axes (
  • plays a critical role in the regulation of transitional B cell survival and maturation
  • negative regulator of TNFSF13B-mediated signaling
  • regulates TNFSF13B responsiveness and self-reactive B cell selection during transitional B cell maturation
  • involved in IL17 signaling and which interacts with members of the REL/NF-KB transcription factor family (
  • negatively regulates B-cell survival through its interaction with TRAF3
  • signaling adaptor involved in the regulation of adaptive immunity

    protein
  • TRAF protein
  • interaction with the regulatory subunit NEMO/IKKgamma of IKK complex, and the stress-activated protein kinase (SAPK)/JNK
  • TRAF6 is a critical substrate of TRAF3IP2, which indicates the importance of protein ubiquitination in the IL17-dependent inflammatory response
  • TRAF6 is essential for IL17A/TRAF3IP2-mediated activation of NFKB
  • TRAF6, was critical for IL17-induced TRAF3IP2 phosphorylation, and for IL17-induced TBK1 activation, its association with TRAF3IP2, and consequent TRAF3IP2 phosphorylation
