Human Molecular Genetic and Functional Studies Identify <i>TRIM63</i> , Encoding Muscle RING Finger Protein 1, as a Novel Gene for Human Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
20 Jul 2012
Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: A delicate balance between protein synthesis and degradation maintains cardiac size and function. TRIM63 encoding Muscle RING Finger 1 (MuRF1) maintains muscle protein homeostasis by tagging the sarcomere proteins with ubiquitin for subsequent degradation by the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS). OBJECTIVE: To determine the pathogenic role of TRIM63 in human hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). METHODS...
