The AIRE gene function is not well defined, however the protein does contain zinc finger motifs suggestive of a transcription factor.
The protein (isoform 1) is localized to both the nucleus and cytoplasm.
Three splice variant mRNAs products have been described [1].
The longer AIRE-1 mRNA appears to be more abundant and includes exons 1 through 14.
Splice variant AIRE-2 includes a portion of the non-coding region of exon 1, an alternatively spliced longer exon 8, plus exons 9 through 14.
Variant AIRE-3 includes the same exon 1-8-9 sequences as found in AIRE-2 but utilizes additional alternative splicing in exon 10 that shifts the reading frame such that a stop codon in exon 12 is utilized.
The resulting protein products of these splice variants are differ significantly.
Defects in this gene cause the autosomal-recessive systemic autoimmune disease termed autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal dystrophy (APECED).
