mmuTrim21

Trim 21 comes from the family of TRIM. ‘MMu’ means that it is from mouse. It is a known type of E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase as an intracellular antibody effector in the antibody-mediated proteolysis pathway.

Usage and Biology

Trim 21 has a particular domain to recognize the Fc domain and combine with antibody marked no-enveloped virions. Using its E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activity, trim 21 with the antibody bond to virons is degraded by the Ubiquitin dependent protease degradation pathway.

Due to the organism, therapeutic antibodies targeting disease-associated antigens in extracellular is a key tool for some certain diseases in current researches. Although some diseases is not caused by virons, trim 21 can be used in these diseased by blocking a particular pathogenic process.
