TICAM2

Chr 5

TIR domain containing adaptor molecule 2

Also known as: MyD88-4, TICAM-2, TIRAP3, TIRP, TRAM

Enables molecular adaptor activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of interleukin-18-mediated signaling pathway; regulation of cytokine production; and regulation of innate immune response. Located in endoplasmic reticulum; endosome; and phagocytic cup. Is active in endosome membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

This gene has evidence for multiple mechanisms of pathogenicity (gain-of-function and dominant-negative). Both the Badonyi & Marsh prediction and the broader genomic evidence point to gain-of-function as the predominant mechanism. Different variants in this gene may act through different mechanisms — interpret in context of the specific variant.

GOFprediction above median

Note: In-silico variant effect predictors (SIFT, PolyPhen, REVEL, CADD) may underestimate pathogenicity of missense variants in genes with GOF or DN mechanisms. Consider functional evidence and clinical context.
