ARL11 is a tumor suppressor gene with established pro-apoptotic properties, but its function beyond this role is poorly understood. A new analysis of macrophage activation has identified ARL11 as a novel regulator of a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). These findings expand on the function of ARL11 beyond its tumor suppressor activity and highlight a novel role as a regulator of macrophage activation and inflammatory response.
ARL11 是一种具有明确促凋亡特性的肿瘤抑制基因，但人们对其功能知之甚少。对巨噬细胞激活的新分析确定 ARL11 是丝裂原活化蛋白激酶（MAPK）的新型调节剂。这些发现扩展了 ARL11 的功能，超出了其肿瘤抑制活性，并强调了其作为巨噬细胞激活和炎症反应调节剂的新作用。
