General description of the gene and the encoded protein(s) using information from HGNC and Ensembl, as well as predictions made by the Human Protein Atlas project.
Gene namei
Official gene symbol, which is typically a short form of the gene name, according to HGNC.
Assigned HPA protein class(es) for the encoded protein(s).
Cancer-related genes Enzymes Plasma proteins
Predicted locationi
All transcripts of all genes have been analyzed regarding the location(s) of corresponding protein based on prediction methods for signal peptides and transmembrane regions.
Genes with at least one transcript predicted to encode a secreted protein, according to prediction methods or to UniProt location data, have been further annotated and classified with the aim to determine if the corresponding protein(s) are secreted or actually retained in intracellular locations or membrane-attached.
Remaining genes, with no transcript predicted to encode a secreted protein, will be assigned the prediction-based location(s).
The annotated location overrules the predicted location, so that a gene encoding a predicted secreted protein that has been annotated as intracellular will have intracellular as the final location.
Gene information from Ensembl and Entrez, as well as links to available gene identifiers are displayed here. Information was retrieved from Ensembl if not indicated otherwise.

Functions as a ubiquitin E3 ligase and as an ISG15 E3 ligase 1. Involved in innate immune defense against viruses by mediating ubiquitination of RIGI and IFIH1 2,3,4,5,6,7. Mediates 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitination of the RIGI N-terminal CARD-like region and may play a role in signal transduction that leads to the production of interferons in response to viral infection 8,9. Mediates 'Lys-63'- linked polyubiquitination of IFIH1 10. Promotes ISGylation of 14-3-3 sigma (SFN), an adapter protein implicated in the regulation of a large spectrum signaling pathway 11,12. Mediates estrogen action in various target organs 13. Mediates the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of ZFHX3 14. Plays a role in promoting the restart of stalled replication forks via interaction with the KHDC3L-OOEP scaffold and subsequent ubiquitination of BLM, resulting in the recruitment and retainment of BLM at DNA replication forks (By similarity). Plays an essential role in the antiviral activity of ZAP/ZC3HAV1; an antiviral protein which inhibits the replication of certain viruses. Mechanistically, mediates 'Lys-63'- linked polyubiquitination of ZAP/ZC3HAV1 that is required for its optimal binding to target mRNA 15,16. Mediates also the ubiquitination of various substrates implicated in stress granule formation, nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, nucleoside synthesis and mRNA translation and stability 17....show less

Gene summary (Entrez)i
Useful information about the gene from Entrez
The protein encoded by this gene 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. The protein is an RNA binding protein, functions as a ubiquitin E3 ligase and is involved in multiple cellular processes, including regulation of antiviral innate immunity.

PROTEIN INFORMATIONi
The protein information section displays alternative protein-coding transcripts (splice variants) encoded by this gene according to the Ensembl database.
The Splice variant identifier links to the Ensembl website protein summary for the selected splice variant. The data in the Swissprot and TrEMBL columns links to corresponding pages in the UniProt database.
The protein classes assigned to this protein are shown if expanding the data in the protein class column. Parent protein classes are in bold font and subclasses are listed under the parent class.
The length of the protein (amino acid residues according to Ensembl), molecular mass (kDalton), predicted signal peptide and number of predicted transmembrane region(s) according to in-house majority decision methods based on sets of predictors are also reported.
