TRAF2

TRAF2 (Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor-Associated Factor 2) is a protein that helps transmit signals inside cells, particularly those related to immune responses and cell survival. It acts as a messenger, linking external signals like inflammation or stress to the internal processes that control how cells respond, grow, or die. By doing so, TRAF2 plays a key role in maintaining immune system balance and preventing abnormal cell growth, which can lead to diseases like cancer or autoimmune disorders. Essentially, it helps coordinate how cells respond to their environment, ensuring proper functioning of immune signaling pathways.
