TRIM3 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the tripartite motif (TRIM) family, also called the 'RING-B-box-coiled-coil' (RBCC) subgroup of RING finger proteins. 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 cytoplasmic filaments. It is similar to a rat protein which is a specific partner for the tail domain of myosin V, a class of myosins which are involved in the targeted transport of organelles. The rat protein can also interact with alpha-actinin-4. Thus it is suggested that this human protein may play a role in myosin V-mediated cargo transport. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same isoform have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008], domain:The interaction with myosin V is dependent upon its NHL repeats, which form a beta-propeller (NHL) domain containing six blades., similarity:Belongs to the TRIM/RBCC family., similarity:Contains 1 B box-type zinc finger., similarity:Contains 1 filamin repeat., similarity:Contains 1 RING-type zinc finger., similarity:Contains 6 NHL repeats., subunit:Associates with myosin V and alpha-actinin-4 (ACTN4) ., tissue specificity:Expressed in brain, heart, uterus and testis.
