Normal role description: Involved in B cell survival. Regulates pathways leading to the activation of NF-kappa-B and MAP kinases. Plays a role in the regulation of antiviral and T cell dependent immune response . Component of several E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complexes. May have E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activity. Inhibits activation of NF-kappa-B in response to LTBR stimulation and TRAF2-mediated activation of NF-kappa-B. Promotes degradation of MAP3K14 via ubiquitination. Associated with Hodgkin lymphomas.
