InnateDB Annotation
Summary
RELB is a NF-kappaB subunit that participates in endotoxin tolerance by repressing pro-inflammatory gene expression.
RELB mediates transcription of chemokines like IL8 via activation of AHR and Protein kinase A, and its expression is inhibited by Vitamin D3 analog in DCs.
RELB acts as both transcription factor as well as a repressor of NF-kappaB gene expression by forming heterodimers with NFKB1 (p50 subunit) and NFKB2 (p100 subunit) or inhibiting RELA DNA binding activity, respectively.
RELB sustains NFKBIA (IkappaB alpha) expression during endotoxin tolerance, RelB transcription activation requires binding to the (IkappaB alpha) proximal promoter along with NFKB1 (p50), and is associated with an apparent dimer exchange with RELA (p65).
RELB functions as a dual transcription regulator during LPS tolerance and human severe systemic inflammation (SSI) by activating and repressing innate immunity genes.
RELB is required for IL17A production in T cell in response to bacterial infection. RELB deficient T cells resulted in a diminished innate immune response to E. coli infection. (Demonstrated in murine model)

Summary
[Mus musculus] Relb is required for Il17a production in T cell in response to bacterial infection. Relb deficient T cells resulted in a diminished innate immune response to E. coli infection.
[Mus musculus] Ripk3 has a novel function in NF-kB activation, dendritic cell biology, innate inflammatory-cytokine expression, and injury-induced tissue repair.
