TRAF6 is divergent from other members of the TRAF family. Therefore, TRAF6 was expected
to play physiological roles distinct from those of other TRAFs. In this chapter, we focused on
the physiological functions specific to TRAF6 but not other TRAFs in immune system,
formation of skin appendices, and nervous system development by describing abnormal
phenotypes observed in TRAF6-deficient mice. The role of TRAF6 in osteoclastogenesis
and the molecular mechanisms of TRAF6-mediated signal transduction are described in …
