TAB3 encodes TAK1-binding protein 3, an essential adaptor protein in the NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways. TAB3 partners with TAB2 to mediate the activation of TAK1 (MAP3K7) downstream of TLRs, IL-1R, TNF receptors, and TGF-β receptors. Upon receptor activation, TAB3/TAB2 recruits TAK1 to the signaling complex, leading to TAK1 autophosphorylation and activation of downstream NF-κB and JNK pathways. TAB3 is critical for innate immune responses, inflammatory cytokine production, cell survival, and stress responses.
Wide expression in immune cells (macrophages, microglia, lymphocytes). Expressed in neurons and astrocytes, with upregulated expression in response to inflammatory stimuli.
| Disease | Variants | Inheritance | Mechanism |

| Alzheimer's Disease | R56C | Risk factor | Enhanced NF-κB activation, neuroinflammation |
| Parkinson's Disease | Splice variants | Risk factor | Altered stress response |
| ALS | Variants | Risk factor | Dysregulated inflammation |
| Inflammatory disorders | Various | Variable | Altered immune signaling |
