Anti-SASH1

This gene encodes a scaffold protein involved in the TLR4 signaling pathway that may stimulate cytokine production and endothelial cell migration in response to invading pathogens. The encoded protein has also been described as a potential tumor suppressor that may negatively regulate proliferation, apoptosis, and invasion of cancer cells, and reduced expression of this gene has been observed in multiple human cancers. Mutations in this gene may be associated with abnormal skin pigmentation in human patients. Protein function: Is a positive regulator of NF-kappa-B signaling downstream of TLR4 activation. It acts as a scaffold molecule to assemble a molecular complex that includes TRAF6, MAP3K7, CHUK and IKBKB, thereby facilitating NF-kappa-B signaling activation (PubMed:23776175). Regulates TRAF6 and MAP3K7 ubiquitination (PubMed:23776175). Involved in the regulation of cell mobility (PubMed:23333244, PubMed:23776175, PubMed:25315659). Regulates lipolysaccharide (LPS)-induced endothelial cell migration (PubMed:23776175). Is involved in the regulation of skin pigmentation through the control of melanocyte migration in the epidermis (PubMed:23333244). [The UniProt Consortium]
