Gene locus:

6q23-q25

Protein name:

Tumor necrosis factor, alpha-induced protein 3 (also known as “NF-kappaB inhibitor A20”)

Protein Size:

790 amino acids; about 90 kDa

Function:

TNFAIP3 is rapidly induced by the tumor necrosis factor (TNF). The protein encoded by this gene has been shown to inhibit NF-kappa B activation as well as TNF-mediated apoptosis. It is critical for limiting inflammatory processes.

Cancer-related alterations

Somatic TNFAIP3 mutations have been identified almost exclusively in haematopoietic and lymphoid tissue tumors (10%-20% of cases). TNFAIP3 is mutated mainly in different subtypes of B-cell lymphomas. It has been identified as tumor suppressor in marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (MZBCL), classical Hodgkin's lymphoma (cHL), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), primary mediastinal B-cell Lymphoma (PMBL)…
Most TNFAIP3 mutations are nonsense or frameshift that prevent production of full-length TNFAIP3 protein. Deletions are also observed. There are no mutational hot spots.
