Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Adapter protein which binds TBK1 and IKBKE playing a role in antiviral innate immunity. Activates serine/threonine- protein kinase TBK1 and facilitates its oligomerization. Enhances the phosphorylation of NF-kappa-B p65 subunit RELA by TBK1. Promotes TBK1-induced as well as TNF-alpha or PMA-induced activation of NF-kappa-B. Participates in IFNB promoter activation via TICAM1. {ECO:0000269PubMed:17568778}.

Subcellular Localization

Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269PubMed:10580148}.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Testis, ovary, heart, lung, kidney and brain. Expressed maily in the spermatocytes or spermatids in the testis. {ECO:0000269PubMed:10580148}.
