Function Summary
  • Entrez Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the NLR family and localizes to the outer mitochondrial membrane. The encoded protein is a regulator of mitochondrial antivirus responses. Three transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2013].
  • UniProt Summary: Participates in antiviral signaling. Acts as a negative regulator of MAVS-mediated antiviral responses, through the inhibition of the virus-induced RLH (RIG-like helicase)-MAVS interaction (PubMed:18200010). Instead, promotes autophagy by interacting with TUFM and subsequently recruiting the autophagy- related proteins ATG5 and ATG12 (PubMed:22749352). Regulates also MAVS-dependent NLRP3 inflammasome activation to attenuate apoptosis (PubMed:27393910). Has no inhibitory function on NF- kappa-B signaling pathway, but enhances NF-kappa-B and JUN N- terminal kinase dependent signaling through the production of reactive oxygen species (PubMed:18219313). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18200010, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18219313, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22749352, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27393910}.
