NAP1: Proteins and Enzymes

NAP1, also know as TAK1-binding protein 3 (TAB3), is a binding and regulatory subunit of the transforming growth factor-beta-activated kinase 1 (TAK1). NAP1 functions as an adaptor that mediates IL1 and TNF signaling pathways. Additionally it plays a role in the activation of the NF-kappaB pathway by functioning as receptors that bind polyubiquitin chains for the regulation of kinase activity.
