[5][6] The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the TRIM protein family.

It has been proposed to form homo- or heterodimers which are involved in nucleic acid binding.

Thus, it may act as a transcriptional regulatory factor involved in carcinogenesis and/or differentiation.

It may also function in the suppression of radiosensitivity since it is associated with ataxia–telangiectasia phenotype.
