General annotation (Comments)

Function	Adapter protein and signal transducer that links members of the tumor necrosis factor receptor family to different signaling pathways by association with the receptor cytoplasmic domain and kinases. Also involved in the IL-1 signaling pathway via MYD88 and IRAK kinases. Seems to be involved in IL-17 signaling By similarity. Mediates activation of NF-kappa-B and JNK. May function as an E3 ubiquitin ligase.
Pathway	Protein modification; protein ubiquitination.
Subunit structure	Homotrimer Probable. Binds to TNFRSF5/CD40 and TNFRSF11A/RANK. Associates with NGFR, TNFRSF17, IRAK1, IRAK2, IRAK3, IRAK4, RIPK2, MAP3K1, MAP3K5, MAP3K14, CSK, and TRAF-interacting protein TRIP and TRAF and TNF receptor associated protein TTRAP. Interacts with IL17R. Interacts with SQSTM1 bridging NTRK1 and NGFR. Forms a ternary complex with SQSTM1 and PRKCZ By similarity. Interacts with PELI1, PELI2 and PELI3. Binds UBE2V1. Interacts with MAVS/IPS1. Interacts with TAX1BP1. Interacts with IL1RL1. Interacts with TRAFD1. Interacts with ZNF675. Interacts with JUB. Interacts with TICAM1 and TICAM2.
Subcellular location	Cytoplasm Probable.
Tissue specificity	Expressed in heart, brain, placenta, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas.
Domain	The coiled coil domain mediates homo- and hetero-oligomerization. The MATH/TRAF domain binds to receptor cytoplasmic domains.
Post-translational modification	Polyubiquitinated By similarity.
Sequence similarities	Contains 1 MATH domain. Contains 1 RING-type zinc finger. Contains 2 TRAF-type zinc fingers.
