Also known as ZFAND5BAWP1

Summary

ZFAND6 (zinc finger AN1-type containing 6, HGNC:30164) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 15q25.1, encoding AN1-type zinc finger protein 6 (Q6FIF0). Involved in regulation of TNF induced NF-kappa-B activation and apoptosis.

Predicted to enable polyubiquitin modification-dependent protein binding activity. Involved in cellular response to tumor necrosis factor; negative regulation of apoptotic process; and regulation of canonical NF-kappaB signal transduction. Predicted to be located in cytosol.

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →

Function. Involved in regulation of TNF induced NF-kappa-B activation and apoptosis. Involved in modulation of ‘Lys-48’-linked polyubiquitination status of TRAF2 and decreases association of TRAF2 with RIPK1. Required for PTS1 target sequence-dependent protein import into peroxisomes and PEX5 stability; may cooperate with PEX6. In vitro involved in PEX5 export from the cytosol to peroxisomes.

Subunit / interactions. Interacts with PKN1. Interacts with TRAF2. Interacts with mono- and polyubiquitin. Interacts with PEX6. Interacts with PEX5 (Cys-linked ubiquitinated).

Subcellular location. Cytoplasm.

Tissue specificity. Widely expressed with high level in heart, skeletal muscle, liver, kidney and placenta.

Domain organisation. The A20-type zinc finger domain mediates regulation of NF-kappa-B activity. The AN1-type zinc finger domain mediates association with TRAF2.
