The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the
tripartite motif (TRIM) family, also known as the 'RING-B
box-coiled coil' (RBCC) subgroup of RING finger proteins. 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. This protein forms
homodimers which associate with microtubules in the cytoplasm. The
protein is likely involved in the formation of multiprotein
structures acting as anchor points to microtubules. Mutations in
this gene have been associated with the X-linked form of Opitz
syndrome, which is characterized by midline abnormalities such as
cleft lip, laryngeal cleft, heart defects, hypospadias, and
agenesis of the corpus callosum. This gene was also the first
example of a gene subject to X inactivation in human while escaping
it in mouse. Multiple different transcript variants are generated
by alternate splicing; however, the full-length nature of some of
the variants has not been determined.1) Need, A.C., et al. Hum. Mol. Genet. 18(23):4650-4661(2009)
