Function
Involved in innate immunity against invading pathogens. Adapter used by TLR3, TLR4 (through TICAM2) and TLR5 to mediate NF-kappa-B and interferon-regulatory factor (IRF) activation, and to induce apoptosis. Ligand binding to these receptors results in TRIF recruitment through its TIR domain.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cytoplasmic vesicle, autophagosome; Cytoplasm, cytosol; Mitochondrion
Tissue Specificity: Ubiquitously expressed but with higher levels in liver
Disease Association: Encephalopathy, acute, infection-induced, 6, herpes-specific (IIAE6) : A rare complication of human herpesvirus 1 (HHV-1) infection, occurring in only a small minority of HHV-1 infected individuals. It is characterized by hemorrhagic necrosis of parts of the temporal and frontal lobes. Onset is over several days and involves fever, headache, seizures, stupor, and often coma, frequently with a fatal outcome.
