Tob1 (transducer of ERBB 2‐1, TOB 1 is human) is a member of the antiproliferative ( APRO ) family of proteins that controls cell cycle progression in several cell types. In addition, Tob1 has been implicated in diverse cellular mechanisms, such as embryonic dorsal development and T helper 17 (Th17) cell function. More recently, evidence linking Tob1 function to experimental and human immune‐related disorders has mounted, thus underscoring the potential of this molecule as a biomarker and as a therapeutic target. The present article reviews these functions with an emphasis on their implications for human autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis.
