NSMAF Proteins and Enzymes

Cellular responses to tumor necrosis factor (TNF; MIM 191160) are initiated by the interaction of TNF with 2 distinct cell surface receptors that transmit signals to the cytoplasm and nucleus, leading to profound alterations in transcriptional programs. The initiation of intracellular signaling events through 1 of these receptors, the 55-kD tumor necrosis factor receptor-1 (TNFR1; MIM 191190), appears to depend on protein intermediates that interact with specific cytoplasmic domains of TNFR1 (Adam-Klages et al., 1996 [PubMed 8808629]).[supplied by OMIM]
