description | Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor associated factor 3 (TRAF3) is a highly versatile regulator that positively controls type I interferon production, but negatively regulates mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase activation and non-canonical nuclear factor-kB signalling []. It is a critical regulator of both innate and adaptive immune responses []. TRAF3 plays a role in the regulation of B-cell survival [], in the regulation of antiviral responses [], and in T-cell dependent immune responses []. It is required for normal antibody isotype switching from IgM to IgG []. Differences in the ubiquitination of TRAF3 are the key to the selective production of type I interferons versus proinflammatory cytokines []. |
