Abstract: Tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6(TRAF6)is a member of the super TRAF family. It is not only over-expressed in many cancer tissues but also closely associated with tumor cell proliferation,migration,and apoptosis. Studies on relationships between TRAF6 and different types of tumors have emerged recently,and these investigations suggest that interfering or depressing TRAF6 in the role of tumor-related signaling pathways may provide a new therapeutic approach for the treatment of cancers. This review summarizes the correlation between TRAF6 and tumor based on the biological functions of TRAF6 and its critical roles in tumor-related signaling pathways,and explores the significance of TRAF6 in combatting cancers,aiming at providing theoretical basis for the treatment of cancer by targeting TRAF6 in the future.

Key words: tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6, signaling pathway, tumor
