RFTN1 (human), recombinant protein

Protein function: Involved in protein trafficking via association with clathrin and AP2 complex (PubMed:27022195, PubMed:21266579). Upon bacterial lipopolysaccharide stimulation, mediates internalization of TLR4 to endosomes in dendritic cells and macrophages, and internalization of poly(I:C) to TLR3-positive endosomes in myeloid dendritic cells and epithelial cells, resulting in activation of TICAM1-mediated signaling and subsequent IFNB1 production (PubMed:27022195, PubMed:21266579). Involved in T-cell antigen receptor-mediated signaling by regulating tyrosine kinase LCK localization, T-cell dependent antibody production and cytokine secretion. May regulate B-cell antigen receptor-mediated signaling (PubMed:12805216). May play a pivotal role in the formation and/or maintenance of lipid rafts (PubMed:12805216). [The UniProt Consortium]
