NCIt definition : Human TRIM21 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 11p15.5 and is approximately
9 kb in length. This allele, which encodes E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase TRIM21 protein,
plays a role in the regulation of both cell cycle progression and ubiquitinylation
of proteins. Polymorphism of the gene is associated with systemic lupus erythematosus.;
NCIt note : The TRIM21 gene may be involved in viral infection defense responses.;
