Protein attributes

Sequence length	203 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is not processed.
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Required for the innate immune response. Downstream effector of the Toll-like receptor (TLR), TNF and IL-1 beta signaling pathways leading to the production of IL-6. Forms a complex with YWHAB that acts to repress transcription of DUSP1 By similarity.
Subunit structure	Interacts with YWHAB By similarity.
Subcellular location	Nucleus.
Tissue specificity	Widely expressed with the highest expression in peripheral blood leukocytes. Ref.6
Miscellaneous	'Akiraka ni suru' means 'making things clear' in Japanese. The name is given based on the presence of the clear nuclear localization signal.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the akirin family.
