TRIM25 Antibody / EFP

Tripartite motif-containing protein 25, also called 'Estrogen-responsive finger protein' or 'EFP,' is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TRIM25 gene. It is mapped to 17q22. 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 the cytoplasm. The presence of potential DNA-binding and dimerization-transactivation domains suggests that this protein may act as a transcription factor, similar to several other members of the TRIM family. Expression of the gene is upregulated in response to estrogen, and it is thought to mediate estrogen actions in breast cancer as a primary response gene.
