Analysis of TRIM68 Gene (Mutation) by RT-qPCR (CAT#: STEM-MT-2177-LGZ)

Introduction

Official Full Name: tripartite motif containing 68<br />Also known as: SS56; GC109; SS-56; RNF137<br />The gene encodes a member of a triad-motif-containing protein family characterized by a "really interesting new gene" (RING) finger domain, a zinc-binding B-box motif, and a coiled-coil region. Members of this family function as E3 ubiquitin ligases and are involved in a wide range of biological processes. This gene regulates the activation of nuclear receptors such as the androgen receptor and has been implicated in the development of prostate cancer cells, and its expression increases with the downregulation of the microRNA. Furthermore, this gene is involved in the regulation of viral defense as a negative regulator of interferon-β. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
