Autoimmune Regulator

Preferred Label : Autoimmune Regulator;

NCIt synonyms : APECED Protein; Autoimmune Polyendocrinopathy Candidiasis Ectodermal Dystrophy Protein; Autoimmune Regulator (APECED Protein); AIRE;

NCIt definition : Autoimmune regulator (545 aa, 58 kDa) is encoded by the human AIRE gene. This protein is involved in both the activation of gene transcription and the inhibition of autoimmunity.;

NCIt note : Autoimmune regulator binds to DNA as a dimer or a tetramer by associating with G-doublets in an A/T-rich environment; the preferred motif is a tandem repeat of 5'-. ATTGGTTA-3' combined with a 5'-TTATTA-3' box. (UniProt);
