Ticam1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables signaling adaptor activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to oxidised low-density lipoprotein particle stimulus; positive regulation of canonical NF-kappaB signal transduction; and positive regulation of cytokine production. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including lipopolysaccharide-mediated signaling pathway; positive regulation of lymphocyte activation; and positive regulation of metabolic process. Located in cytosol and mitochondrion. Is expressed in brain and genitourinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in brain disease. Orthologous to human TICAM1 (TIR domain containing adaptor molecule 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
