Function
Inhibits the activity of dimeric NF-kappa-B/REL complexes by trapping REL (RELA/p65 and NFKB1/p50) dimers in the cytoplasm by masking their nuclear localization signals. On cellular stimulation by immune and pro-inflammatory responses, becomes phosphorylated promoting ubiquitination and degradation, enabling the dimeric RELA to translocate to the nucleus and activate transcription.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cytoplasm; Nucleus
Disease Association: Ectodermal dysplasia and immunodeficiency 2 (EDAID2) : A form of ectoderma dysplasia, a heterogeneous group of disorders due to abnormal development of two or more ectodermal structures. This form of ectodermal dysplasia is associated with decreased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and certain interferons, rendering patients susceptible to infection. EDAID2 inheritance is autosomal dominant. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry]
