It is expressed in various tissues including the retina where it plays a role in maintaining cellular functions. Optineurin interacts with several binding partners to execute its roles within the cell. It is involved in intracellular trafficking signaling and inflammation processes. As an essential component of the cellular machinery optineurin aids in proper cellular communication and responses.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nOptineurin influences different cellular processes notably autophagy and regulation of inflammation. It participates in forming a complex with other proteins to facilitate cargo transport and degradation via the autophagy-lysosome pathway. This function is important for removing damaged proteins and organelles ensuring cellular homeostasis. Inflammation regulation occurs through optineurin's ability to inhibit certain signaling pathways therefore modulating immune responses and preventing excessive inflammation.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nOptineurin plays a role in the NF-kB signaling pathway and the autophagic process. In NF-kB signaling it acts as a negative regulator by degrading specific signaling molecules. This regulation is necessary to prevent chronic inflammation and maintain immune balance. Within autophagy optineurin collaborates with other autophagy-related proteins like LC3 to facilitate the sequestration and clearance of cellular components preventing accumulation of damaged cellular materials.\u003cbr\u003e\nOptineurin connects to conditions like glaucoma and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Mutations in the optineurin gene link to glaucoma as they can impair autophagy and lead to optic nerve damage. In the context of ALS optineurin mutations disrupt normal cellular functions contributing to motor neuron degeneration. The protein TDP-43 is often associated with ALS and interacts with optineurin in pathological processes affecting disease progression.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46848651362473,"sku":"ab23666","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab23666","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
