Description
Product Characteristics:
Abin-1 is a 636 amino acid protein that localizes to both the nucleus and the cytoplasm and is shuttled between the two intercellular regions in a CRM1-dependent manner. Expressed ubiquitously with highest expression in spleen and skeletal muscle, Abin-1 interacts with A20 and, via this interaction, interferes with TRAF2-mediated transactivation signals and effectively inhibits TNF-induced NF_B expression. Additionally, Abin-1 can be incorporated into HIV-1 virions and, if overexpressed, can inhibit viral replication. Abin-1 may also play an important role in the regulation of nuclear import and export activities. Multiple isoforms of Abin-1 exist due to alternative splicing events.

Target Information: This gene encodes an A20-binding protein which plays a role in autoimmunity and tissue homeostasis through the regulation of nuclear factor kappa-B activation. Mutations in this gene have been associated with psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and systemic lupus erythematosus. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2011]
