Summary
Zc3h12a prevents autoimmunity by controlling the stability of cytokine mRNA, such as Il6. Zc3h12a protein degradation is facilitated by IKK complex, which acts downstream of TLR stimulation.
Zc3h12a is a potent regulator of innate immunity, which can be strongly engaged in the pathogenesis of acute and chronic infective diseases. (Demonstrated in human)

Entrez Gene
Summary This gene does not have any Entrez summary - the following is the summary from its human ortholog ENSG00000163874:
ZC3H12A is an MCP1 (CCL2; MIM 158105)-induced protein that acts as a transcriptional activator and causes cell death of cardiomyocytes, possibly via induction of genes associated with apoptosis.[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
