MeSH Heading: AIRE Protein
Tree Number(s): D12.776.930.123
Unique ID: D000096927
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D000096927
Scope Note: A transcriptional regulator primarily expressed in medullary thymic epithelial cells. It plays an important role in immunity by regulating the expression of a wide array of SELF-ANTIGENS and negative selection of autoreactive T-cells in the thymus. Deficiency in this protein induces a rare autosomal-recessive disease called AUTOIMMUNE POLYENDOCRINOPATHY-CANDIDIASIS-ECTODERMAL DYSTROPHY.
Entry Term(s): APECED Protein; Autoimmune Polyendocrinopathy Candidiasis Ectodermal Dystrophy Protein; Autoimmune Regulator Protein
