Rabbit anti-Human TRIM9 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q9C026

Target Species

Human

Target Name

TRIM9

Target Full Name

E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase TRIM9

Target Function

E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase which ubiquitinates itself in cooperation with an E2 enzyme UBE2D2/UBC4 and serves as a targeting signal for proteasomal degradation. May play a role in regulation of neuronal functions and may also participate in the formation or breakdown of abnormal inclusions in neurodegenerative disorders. May act as a regulator of synaptic vesicle exocytosis by controlling the availability of SNAP25 for the SNARE complex formation.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Cell projection, dendrite. Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle, synaptic vesicle. Cell junction, synapse. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton.

Target Protein Families

TRIM/RBCC family

Target Tissue Specificity

Brain. Highly expressed in the cerebral cortex (at protein level). Severely decreased in the affected brain areas in Parkinson disease and dementia with Lewy bodies.

Target Research Area

Epigenetics and Nuclear Signaling

Target Synonyms

TRIM9; KIAA0282; RNF91; E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase TRIM9; EC 2.3.2.27; RING finger protein 91; RING-type E3 ubiquitin transferase TRIM9; Tripartite motif-containing protein 9

Target Background

The protein encoded by this gene is 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. The protein localizes to cytoplasmic bodies. Its function has not been identified. Alternate splicing of this gene generates two transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
