背景信息:
TRIM37 is a protein that localizes to peroxisomes and contains a tripartite motif (TRIM) and a tumor necrosis factor-receptor associated factor (TRAF) domain. The protein and gene forms of TRIM37 are highly conserved between human and mouse. TRIM37 is expressed at a low level in the liver, ovary, heart, lung, skeletal muscle, and kidney, while it is highly expressed in the testis and brain, where it may act as an E3 ubiquitin ligase. Mutations in the TRIM37 gene result in Mulibrey nanism, an autosomal recessive prenatal-onset growth disorder that causes characteristic dysmorphic craniofacial features, heart disease, cardiopathy, failure of sexual maturation, and hepatomegaly.
