    Summary
    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; germ cell nucleus; 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).

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

      See identical proteins and their annotated locations for NP_001258488.1

      Status: VALIDATED

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (12) uses two alternate in-frame splice sites and lacks two alternate exons in the coding region, which results in a translational frameshift, compared to variant 1. PubMed ID 10550218 supports this variant and calls it Aire 3d. The resulting protein (isoform 12) has a distinct C-terminus and is shorter than isoform 1.

      Status: VALIDATED

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (13) uses an alternate acceptor splice site in an internal exon and contains an alternate internal exon compared to variant 1. This variant is represented as non-coding because the use of the 5'-most expected translational start codon, as used in variant 1, renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
