Comment typeDescription
Alternative ProductsEvent=Alternative splicing; Named isoforms=2; Name=1; IsoId=Q86UT6-1; Sequence=Displayed; Name=2; IsoId=Q86UT6-2; Sequence=VSP_027158, VSP_027159; Note=No experimental confirmation available.;
DomainThe LRRCT domain mediates homodimerization and LRRNT mediates trimerization of the dimers.
FunctionParticipates in antiviral signaling. Acts as a negative regulator of MAVS-mediated antiviral responses, through the inhibition of the virus-induced RLH (RIG-like helicase)-MAVS interaction (PubMed:18200010). Has no inhibitory function on NF- Kappa-B and type 1 interferon signaling pathways, but enhances NF- Kappa-B and JUN N-terminal kinase dependent signaling through the production of reactive oxygen species (PubMed:18219313). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18200010, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18219313}.
