Gene:
tripartite motif-containing 5
Gene ID:
195706
Symbol:
TRIM5
Species:
1000
Description:
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the tripartite motif (TRIM) family. 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. The protein localizes to cytoplasmic bodies. Its function has not been identified. Five alternatively spliced transcript variants for this gene have been described. However, the full length nature of two of the variants has not been determined.
