Function |
Enhances BCL10-induced activation of NF-kappa-B. Involved in nuclear export of BCL10. Binds to TRAF6, inducing TRAF6 oligomerization and activation of its ligase activity. Has ubiquitin ligase activity. MALT1-dependent BCL10 cleavage plays an important role in T-cell antigen receptor-induced integrin adhesion. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11262391, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14695475, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18264101}.
|
Subcellular Location |
Cytoplasm, perinuclear region {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16123224}. Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16123224}. Note=Shuttles between the nucleus and cytoplasm. Found in perinuclear structures together with BCL10.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Highly expressed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Detected at lower levels in bone marrow, thymus and lymph node, and at very low levels in colon and lung.
