Protein TRAM1
PNAS8
This gene encodes a multi-pass membrane protein that is part of the mammalian endoplasmic reticulum. The encoded protein influences glycosylation and facilitates the translocation of secretory proteins across the endoplasmic reticulum membrane by regulating which domains of the nascent polypeptide chain are visible to the cytosol during a translocational pause.

Forensic Context
A study in pigs (Sus scrofa) demonstrated that the TRAM1 gene exhibited H3K27ac signals around its transcription start site, indicating active regulatory regions [Guo et al. DOI:10.1016/j.jgg.2024.06.017]. A study in humans demonstrated that severe trauma induces a unique bone marrow transcriptomic signature characterized by upregulation of genes encoding erythropoiesis inhibitors and innate immune signaling factors, including TLR4 and its associated pathway components, compared to elective hip replacement patients [Kelly et al. DOI:10.1097/SHK.0000000000001826].
