Rabbit anti-Human TRIM27 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P14373

Target Species

Human

Target Name

TRIM27

Target Full Name

Zinc finger protein RFP

Target Function

E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that mediates ubiquitination of PIK3C2B and inhibits its activity; mediates the formation of 'Lys-48'-linked polyubiquitin chains; the function inhibits CD4 T-cell activation. Acts as a regulator of retrograde transport: together with MAGEL2, mediates the formation of 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitin chains at 'Lys-220' of WASHC1, leading to promote endosomal F-actin assembly. Has a transcriptional repressor activity by cooperating with EPC1. Induces apoptosis by activating Jun N-terminal kinase and p38 kinase and also increases caspase-3-like activity independently of mitochondrial events. May function in male germ cell development. Has DNA-binding activity and preferentially bound to double-stranded DNA.

Target Involvement

A chromosomal aberration involving TRIM27/RFP is found in papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTCs). Translocation t(6;10)(p21.3;q11.2) with RET. The translocation generates TRIM27/RET and delta TRIM27/RET oncogenes.

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Nucleus, PML body. Early endosome.

Target Protein Families

TRIM/RBCC family

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed in testis namely within the seminiferous tubules.

Target Background

This gene encodes a member of the tripartite motif (TRIM) family. The TRIM motif includes three zinc-binding domains, a RING, a B-box type 1 and a B-box type 2, and a coiled-coil region. This protein localizes to the nuclear matrix. It interacts with the enhancer of polycomb protein and represses gene transcription. It is also thought to be involved in the differentiation of male germ cells. Fusion of the N-terminus of this protein with the truncated C-terminus of the RET gene product has been shown to result in production of the ret transforming protein.
