AH receptor-interacting protein (AIP) also known as aryl hydrocarbon receptor-interacting protein, immunophilin homolog ARA9, or HBV X-associated protein 2 (XAP-2) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the AIP gene.[5][6][7] The protein is a member of the FKBP family.

Function

AIP may play a positive role in aryl hydrocarbon receptor-mediated signalling possibly by influencing its receptivity for ligand and/or its nuclear targeting. AIP is the cellular negative regulator of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) X protein.[5] Further, it's been known to suppress antiviral signaling and the induction of type I interferon by targeting IRF7, a key player in the antiviral signal pathways.[8] AIP consists of an N-terminal FKBP52 like domain and a C-terminal TPR domain.[9]

Mutations and role in disease

AIP mutations may be the cause of a familial form of acromegaly, familial isolated pituitary adenoma (FIPA). Somatotropinomas (i.e. GH-producing pituitary adenomas), sometimes associated with prolactinomas, are present in most AIP mutated patients.[10]

Interactions

AIP has been shown to interact with the aryl hydrocarbon receptor,[7][11][12] peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha[13] and the aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator.[7][14] Further, it has shown that AIP can interact with IRF7 to exert its novel function of negatively regulating antiviral signal pathways.[8]
