TRIM24
Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tripartite motif-containing 24 (TRIM24) also known as transcriptional intermediary factor 1α (TIF1α) is a protein that, in humans, is encoded by the TRIM24 gene.[5][6][7]
Function
The protein encoded by this gene mediates transcriptional control by interaction with the activation function 2 (AF2) region of several nuclear receptors, including the estrogen, retinoic acid, and vitamin D3 receptors. The protein localizes to nuclear bodies and is thought to associate with chromatin and heterochromatin-associated factors. The protein 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. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.[5]
Interactions
TRIM24 has been shown to interact with Mineralocorticoid receptor,[6][8] TRIM33,[9] Estrogen receptor alpha[6][10] and Retinoid X receptor alpha.[6][11]
