NCIt synonyms : TRAF2; Tumor Necrosis Factor Type 2 Receptor Associated Protein 2; Tumor Necrosis Factor Type 2 Receptor Associated Protein 3; E3 Ubiquitin-Protein Ligase TRAF2; EC 6.3.2.-, Formerly; TNF Receptor-Associated Factor-2; Tumor Necrosis Factor Type 2 Receptor-Associated Protein 3; Tumor Necrosis Factor Type 2 Receptor-Associated Protein 2; EC 2.3.2.27;
NCIt definition : TNF receptor-associated factor 2 (501 aa, 56 kDa) is encoded by the human TRAF2 gene.
This protein is involved in antibody isotype switching, protein ubiquitination, tumor
necrosis factor receptor-dependent signaling, and the regulation of apoptosis.;
NCIt note : TNF receptor-associated factor 2 has high E3 ubiquitin ligase activity when cytoplasmic
sphingosine-1-phosphate is present. (UniProt); TNF receptor-associated factor 2 contains a MATH domain, a RING-type zinc finger,
2 TRAF-type zinc fingers, and a coiled coil domain that mediates homo- and hetero-oligomerization.
The MATH/TRAF domain binds to receptor cytoplasmic domains.;
