Tristetraprolin (TTP) also known as zinc finger protein 36 homolog (ZFP36) is a protein that in humans mice and rats is encoded by the ZFP36 gene. It is a member of the TIS11 (TPA-induced sequence) family along with butyrate response factors 1 and 2.TTP binds to AU-rich elements (AREs) in the 3′-untranslated regions (UTRs) of the mRNAs of some cytokines and promotes their degradation.
