Summary
IRAK3 upregulation by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is largely dependent on TNF-alpha and LPS tolerance in human endotoxemia models is associated with IRAK3 up-regulation.
IRAK3 selectively attenuates Pam3CSK4-induced MAPK14 (p38) activation through an IRAK1 independent and MKP1 dependent pathway.
IRAK3 is part of the interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase (IRAK) family of proteins that mediate activation of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways.
IRAK3 is one of the negative regulators that contribute to the attenuation of NF-kappaB activation and it negatively regulates the alternative NF-kappaB pathway in a ligand-specific manner.
IRAK3 induction and inhibition of kinase activity of IRAK1 are crucial to peptidoglycan-induced tolerance in macrophages.
IRAK3 regulates Toll-like receptor (TLR) signalling and innate immune homeostasis where IRAK3 is induced upon TLR stimulation and negatively regulates TLR signalling.
IRAK3 is critical to preventing deleterious neutrophil-dependent lung injury during influenza infection of the respiratory tract.
IRAK3 is strongly expressed in resting alveolar macrophages and blunts TNF expression to protect the host from the injurious effect of bacterial-induced inflammation. The inhibitory function of IRAK3 is abolished when it is cleaved by CASP6, which allows the induction of the NFKB pathway and the expression of TNF.
IRAK3 dampens the innate immune response in airway epithelial cells by inhibiting TLR2 signalling in an IL13-dependent manner.
IRAK3 impairs host defence during pneumococcal pneumonia at the primary site of infection. (Demonstrated in mice)

Entrez Gene
Summary This gene encodes a member of the interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase protein family. Members of this family are essential components of the Toll/IL-R immune signal transduction pathways. This protein is primarily expressed in monocytes and macrophages and functions as a negative regulator of Toll-like receptor signaling. Mutations in this gene are associated with a susceptibility to asthma. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
