• Resumen

  • Although known for many years as a nuclear factor (NF)-?B inhibitory and antiapoptotic signaling protein, A20 has recently attracted much attention because of its ubiquitin-regulatory activities and qualification by genome-wide association studies (GWASs) as a susceptibility gene for inflammatory disease. Here, we review new findings that have shed light on the molecular and biochemical mechanisms by which A20 regulates inflammatory signaling cascades, and discuss recent experimental evidence characterizing A20 as a crucial gatekeeper preserving tissue homeostasis.
