Model organisms have been used in the study of TRAF3IP3 function. A conditional knockout mouse line, called Traf3ip3^{tm1a(KOMP)Wtsi[8][9]} was generated as part of the International Knockout Mouse Consortium program — a high-throughput mutagenesis project to generate and distribute animal models of disease to interested scientists.^[10][11][12]

Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion.^[6][13] Twenty three tests were carried out on homozygous mutant mice and two significant abnormalities were observed.^[6] Males had a decrease in white blood cell count and females had an increased susceptibility to bacterial infection.^[6]

Interactions

TRAF3IP3 has been shown to interact with STRN,^[14] MOBKL3,^[14] STK24^[14] and FAM40A.^[14]
