Anti-TRIM25 Antibody

TRIM25, also known as estrogen responsive finger protein (EFP) is a member of the RING finger-B box-coiled coil family and is a downstream target of estrogen receptor a. Mice lacking this gene displayed an underdeveloped uterus and reduced estrogen responsiveness demonstrating that this protein is essential for estrogen dependent proliferation. TRIM25 expression is increased in breast carcinoma where it promotes the growth of breast tumor by functioning as an E3 ubiquitin ligase that targets the negative cell cycle checkpoint 14-3-3s. Recent reports have indicated that TRIM25 E3 ubiquitin ligase is essential for the retinoic-acid-inducible gene 1 (RIG-1) signaling pathway to elicit host antiviral innate immunity.

TRIM25 antibody was raised against a 19 amino acid synthetic peptide from near the carboxy terminus of human TRIM25. The immunogen is located within amino acids 520 - 570 of TRIM25.

Functions as a ubiquitin E3 ligase and as an ISG15 E3 ligase. Involved in innate immune defense against viruses by mediating ubiquitination of DDX58. Mediates 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitination of the DDX58 N-terminal CARD-like region which is crucial for triggering the cytosolic signal transduction that leads to the production of interferons in response to viral infection. Promotes ISGylation of 14-3-3 sigma (SFN), an adapter protein implicated in the regulation of a large spectrum signaling pathway. Mediates estrogen action in various target organs. Mediates the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of ZFHX3 (PubMed:22452784) .

TRIM25 antibody can be stored at 4°C for three months and -20°C, stable for up to one year. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
