Summary: Enables CD40 receptor binding activity and signaling adaptor activity. Involved in several processes, including cytokine-mediated signaling pathway; positive regulation of signal transduction; and regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to nitric oxide; regulation of JNK cascade; and regulation of immunoglobulin production. Located in several cellular components, including cytoplasmic side of plasma membrane; membrane raft; and vesicle membrane. Part of CD40 receptor complex and IRE1-TRAF2-ASK1 complex. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; liver; lower jaw tooth; and mandibular process. Orthologous to human TRAF2 (TNF receptor associated factor 2).

Striatal knockdown of TRAF2 increased infarction size, cell death, microglial activation and the expression of pro-inflammatory markers at 24 h after reperfusion. TRAF2 expression and necroptosis were induced in mouse primary microglia treated with conditioned medium collected from neurons subject to oxygen and glucose deprivation.

Study findings demonstrate that RelB, involved in noncanonical NF-kappaB signaling, is upregulated by TRAF2 and is required for mediating the cytoprotective effects of TRAF2 overexpression in mouse model of myocardial infarction. Cytoprotective effects of TRAF2 are mediated by crosstalk between the canonical and noncanonical NF-kappaB signaling pathways, thereby revealing a complexity for NF-kappaB signaling in the heart.

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.
