TRAF6

TRAF6 (Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor-Associated Factor 6) is a protein involved in the body's immune response. It acts as a messenger inside cells, helping transmit signals from the surface receptors that detect infections or cell stress. When activated, TRAF6 helps initiate processes that produce inflammation and activate other immune components, playing a crucial role in defending the body against pathogens. Additionally, TRAF6 influences cell growth and survival, and its proper function is essential for balanced immune responses and preventing excessive inflammation.
