Association with autoimmune diseases
Genetic variations within the region of the TNIP1 gene have been shown to have association with several autoimmune diseases:
- Systemic Sclerosis;
- Psoriasis;
- Psoriatic arthritis;
- Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
- Type-1 autoimmune hepatitis
- Lupus nephritis
TNIP1 dysfunction or deficiency contributes to hyperinflammarion and may predispose healthy cells to the inflammatory response to otherwise innocuous TLR ligand exposure.
Association with neurodegenerative diseases
A recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) has found that genetic variations in TNIP1 are associated with late-onset sporadic Alzheimer's disease (LOAD).
Interactions
TNIP1 contains multiple amino acid sites that are phosphorylated and ubiquitinated, and has been shown to interact with TNFAIP3, MAP3K1, and MAPK1.
