关于 Aire

功能概要

Enables identical protein binding activity. Involved in immune system development; positive regulation of chemokine production; and regulation of thymocyte migration. Acts upstream of or within humoral immune response; negative thymic T cell selection; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in cytoplasm and nuclear body. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Used to study Guillain-Barre syndrome; Sjogren's syndrome; and autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome and autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1. Orthologous to human AIRE (autoimmune regulator).
