LRRC25
Function
Plays a role in the inhibition of RLR-mediated type I interferon signaling pathway by targeting RIGI for autophagic degradation. Interacts specifically with ISG15-associated RIGI to promote interaction between RIGI and the autophagic cargo receptor p62/SQSTM1 to mediate RIGI degradation via selective autophagy (PubMed:29288164). Also plays a role in the inhibition of NF-kappa-B signaling pathway and inflammatory response by promoting the degradation of p65/RELA.
Tissue Specificity
Expressed in plasmacytoid dendritic cells (PDC), monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MDDC), granulocytes, monocytes, B-lymphocytes, peripheral blood leukocytes, spleen, bone marrow, and, to a lesser extent, lymph nodes, fetal liver, and appendix but not in thymus.
