Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Atypical Ras-like protein that acts as a potent regulator of NF-kappa-B activity by preventing the degradation of NF-kappa-B inhibitor beta (NFKBIB) by most signals, explaining why NFKBIB is more resistant to degradation. May act by blocking phosphorylation of NFKBIB and nuclear localization of p65/RELA NF- kappa-B subunit. It is unclear whether it acts as a GTPase. Both GTP- and GDP-bound forms block phosphorylation of NFKBIB (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular Localization

Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Widely expressed. {ECO:0000269PubMed:10657303}.
