TIFA

This gene encodes an adapter protein involved in adaptive and innate immunity. This protein includes a forkhead-associated (FHA) domain that specifically binds to phosphorylated serine and threonine residues. In response to bacterial infection, the encoded host cell protein undergoes an intermolecular interaction between the FHA domain and a phosphorylated threonine that leads to protein oligomerization and stimulation of the NF-kappa B and other downstream signaling pathways. This protein exhibits reduced expression in hepatocellular carcinoma and may suppress hepatocellular carcinoma progression. This protein may also play a role in the DNA damage response.

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human TIFA often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
