General Information

General Information Comment Organism
malfunction a tautomerase-null protein shows reduced binding affinity to the receptors CD74 and CXCR2, and an impaired ability to induce ERK1/2 MAP kinase activation. Cells expressing the tautomerase-null protein show reduced proliferative capacity, and enzyme-deficient mice show a reduced development in benzo[a]pyrene-induced skin tumors. Homo sapiens
physiological function the enzyme inhibits the migration of macrophages. The enzyme activates the MAP kinase cascade, modulates cell migration, and counter-acts the immunosuppressive effects of glucocorticoids. For many cell types, the enzyme also acts as an important survival or anti-apoptotic factor. the enzyme is essential for the production of pro-inflammatory mediators such as tissue necrosis factor alpha, interleukin-1beta, prostaglandin E2 and nitric oxide by macrophages. The enzyme is necessary for maximal c-jun-N-terminal kinase-dependent AP-1 transactivation and subsequent CXCL8 and VEGF transcription in human lung adenocarcinoma cells Homo sapiens
