background:
ABIN-3 is a member of the A20-binding inhibitor of NF-kappaB activation (ABIN) protein family. Similar to the previously characterized human ABINs (ABIN-1 and ABIN-2), ABIN-3 can bind to A20 and inhibit NF-kappaB activation. In contrast, mouse ABIN-3 is incapable of inhibiting NF-kappaB activation by proinflammatory stimuli because the protein lacks a complete ABIN homology domain, which is required for the funcitonal activity of human ABIN-3.
Function:
Binds to zinc finger protein TNFAIP3 and inhibits NF-kappa-B activation induced by tumor necrosis factor, Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), interleukin-1 and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate. Overexpression inhibits NF-kappa-B-dependent gene expression in response to lipopolysaccharide at a level downstream of TRAF6 and upstream of IKBKB. NF-kappa-B inhibition is independent of TNFAIP3 binding.
Subunit:
Interacts with TNFAIP3. Interacts with polyubiquitin.
Tissue Specificity:
Highly expressed in lung, lymph node, thymus and fetal liver. Expressed at lower levels in bone marrow, brain, kidney, spleen, leukocytes and tonsils. Could be detected in heart, salivary gland, adrenal gland, pancreas, ovary and fetal brain. High levels detected in liver, colon, small intestine, muscle, stomach, testis, placenta, thyroid, uterus, prostate, skin and PBL.
