Optn - optineurin

Enables TFIIIA-class transcription factor binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and ubiquitin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to L-glutamate; cellular response to tumor necrosis factor; and regulation of neuron apoptotic process. Located in several cellular components, including axon; neuronal cell body; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Colocalizes with Golgi apparatus. Biomarker of Parkinson's disease; bladder neck obstruction; proteinuria; and transient cerebral ischemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Paget's disease of bone; amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (multiple); and glaucoma (multiple). Orthologous to human OPTN (optineurin).
