MURF2
The protein encoded by this gene contains a RING zinc finger, a motif known to be involved in protein-protein interactions. This protein associates transiently with microtubules, myosin, and titin during muscle sarcomere assembly. It may act as a transient adaptor and plays a regulatory role in the assembly of sarcomeres. Four alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Forensic Context
A study in mice demonstrated that the TRIM55 (Trim55) showed decreased expression with increasing radiation dose, as noted in a discussion comparing findings to prior research in non-survivor pigs [Aryankalayil et al. DOI:10.1080/09553002.2023.2214205].
