Traf6

This gene encodes a member of the TNF receptor associated factor (TRAF) family of adaptor proteins that mediate signaling events from members of the TNF receptor and Toll/IL-1 receptor families to activate transcription factors such as NF-kappa-B and AP-1. The product of this gene is essential for perinatal and postnatal survival. Mice deficient in this protein exhibit osteopetrosis and defective in development of epidermal appendixes, normal B cell differentiation, lymph node organogenesis, interleukin-1 signaling, lipopolysaccharide signaling and neural tube closure. This protein possesses ubiquitin ligase activity. Alternate splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2014]

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 mouse Traf6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
