| Primary Identifier | IPR038355 | Type | Homologous_superfamily |
| Short Name | TNFAIP8_sf |
| description | Four tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced protein 8-like proteins have been identified: TNFAIP8 (also known as TIPE), TIPE1, TIPE2 and TIPE3. Overexpressed TIPE in cells can reduce cell death in vitro and increase tumor growth in vivo []. By contrast, TIPE2 has been demonstrated to be an inhibitor of Ras and to have a pro-apoptotic ability. TIPE1 could upregulate the pro-apoptotic members of the B-cell leukemia/lymphoma (Bcl)-2 family of proteins []. |
