About TNFAIP6

Cytogenetic location: 2q23.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 2:151,357,592-151,381,340 (from NCBI)

This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 205 orthologues and 2 paralogues. Biased expression in appendix (RPKM 17.8), gall bladder (RPKM 12.0) and 11 other tissues.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a secretory protein that contains a hyaluronan-binding domain, and thus is a member of the hyaluronan-binding protein family. The hyaluronan-binding domain is known to be involved in extracellular matrix stability and cell migration. This protein has been shown to form a stable complex with inter-alpha-inhibitor (I alpha I), and thus enhance the serine Protease inhibitory activity of I alpha I, which is important in the Protease network associated with inflammation. This gene can be induced by proinflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin-1. Enhanced levels of this protein are found in the synovial fluid of patients with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.[provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]
