Protein
Tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced protein 8
Function
Acts as a negative mediator of apoptosis and may play a role in tumor progression. Suppresses the TNF-mediated apoptosis by inhibiting caspase-8 activity but not the processing of procaspase-8, subsequently resulting in inhibition of BID cleavage and caspase-3 activation.
Similarity
Belongs to the TNFAIP8 family.
