Preparation and Storage

Background: MCPIP1

Human MCP-induced protein (MCPIP), also known as ZC3H12A, is an approximately 66 kDa intracellular protein that contains one RNAse domain (aa 134-290), one zinc finger (aa 301-324), and a proline-rich region (aa 458-536). Within aa 426-599, human MCPIP shares approximately 79% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat MCPIP. Its expression is induced by inflammatory stimulation and cellular stress. It acts to dampen inflammatory responses by promoting the degradation of proinflammatory cytokine mRNAs, inhibiting NFkB activation, and antagonizing TLR signaling. MCPIP exhibits deubiquitinase activity and inhibits the biogenesis of miRNA. It also enhances inflammation-induced angiogenesis, osteocyte and adipocyte differentiation, and the cell death of cardiac myocytes.
