Trim63 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables ubiquitin-protein transferase activity. Involved in several processes, including regulation of muscle adaptation; response to interleukin-1; and skeletal muscle atrophy. Acts upstream of or within muscle contraction. Located in contractile muscle fiber. Used to study muscular dystrophy. Biomarker of muscular atrophy and muscular dystrophy. Orthologous to human TRIM63 (tripartite motif containing 63). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Trim63 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
