背景信息:
SARM, also known as SAMD2, SARM1 or KIAA0524, is a 724 amino acid protein that localizes to the cytoplasm and contains one TIR domain and two sterile alpha motif (SAM) domains. Expressed predominately in liver and kidney and present at lower levels in placenta, SARM interacts with TICAM-1 and, via this interaction, blocks the transcriptional activation activity of TICAM-1 and functions as a negative regulator of Toll-like receptor signaling. Additionally, SARM is thought to be involved in innate immune responses and may also play a role in the negative regulation of NFⅹB activation. SARM exists as two alternatively spliced isoforms that are encoded by a gene which maps to human chromosome 17.
