Summary

The protein encoded by this gene contains a RING finger motif and is highly similar to the ring finger proteins RNF28/MURF1 and RNF29/MURF2. In vitro studies demonstrated that this protein, RNF28, and RNF29 form heterodimers, which may be important for the regulation of titin kinase and microtubule-dependent signal pathways in striated muscles. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been reported. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Forensic Context

A study in rats demonstrated that acute ethanol exposure increased mRNA levels of the TRIM54 in the amygdala, a change validated by qPCR and associated with alcohol-induced anxiolysis [Krishnan et al. DOI:10.1038/S41380-022-01732-2].
