Tissue Specificity | Present at high level in Sertoli cells, but not detected in spermatogenic cells (at protein level). Low expression in spleen, thymus and prostate. |
Function | Bridging factor that mediates the recruitment of CYLD to the LUBAC complex, thereby regulating TNF-alpha-induced necroptosis. Acts as a direct binding intermediate that bridges RNF31/HOIP, the catalytic subunit of the LUBAC complex, and the deubiquitinase (CYLD), thereby recruiting CYLD to the TNF-R1 signaling complex (TNF-RSC). Required to activate the 'Met-1'- (linear) and 'Lys-63'-linked deubiquitinase activities of CYLD. Controls the kinase activity of RIPK1 and TNF-alpha-induced necroptosis by promoting 'Met-1'-linked deubiquitination of RIPK1 by CYLD. |
