TRIM72: Proteins and Enzymes

Muscle-specific protein that plays a central role in cell membrane repair by nucleating the assembly of therepair machinery at injury sites. Specifically binds phosphatidylserine. Acts as a sensor of oxidation: upon membranedamage, entry of extracellular oxidative environment results in disulfide bond formation and homooligomerization atthe injury site. This oligomerization acts as a nucleation site for recruitment of TRIM72-containing vesicles to theinjury site, leading to membrane patch ...
