TRAF1

TNF receptor-associated factor 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TRAF1 gene.

Function

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the TNF receptor (TNFR) associated factor (TRAF) protein family. TRAF proteins associate with, and mediate the signal transduction from various receptors of the TNFR superfamily. This protein and TRAF2 form a heterodimeric complex, which is required for TNF-alpha-mediated activation of MAPK8/JNK and NF-kappaB. The protein complex formed by this protein and TRAF2 also interacts with inhibitor-of-apoptosis proteins (IAPs), and thus mediates the anti-apoptotic signals from TNF receptors. The expression of this protein can be induced by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). EBV infection membrane protein 1 (LMP1) is found to interact with this and other TRAF proteins; this interaction is thought to link LMP1-mediated B lymphocyte transformation to the signal transduction from TNFR family receptors.

    Trophy Wife

    by: National

    No nobody wants to be
    no no one's lover
    no matter what they say
    lovers know they are the ones
    who one day have to go
    trophy wives
    I know they wander
    and find a young young man
    trophy wives
    I know they wander
    one time you were a good rabbit
    to all the girls
    and all their lovely mothers
    you tried a piece of everything
    now nothing turns you on
    trophy wives
    I know they wander
    and find a young young man
    trophy wives
    I know they wander
    run run baby I don't feel alive
    but I'm pretty and I'm pretty sure
    I'm gonna be alright to drive
    to new jack city for a younger man
    with a better brain
    I fell in love with you
    no matter what you say
    but you were right about the reasons
    I don't want to be
    what I'm becoming
    your trophy wife
    I know they wander
    and find a young young man
    you trophy wife
    I know they wander
    and find a young man
    your trophy wife
