Tripartite motif-containing protein 5 (TRIM5), also known as RING finger protein 88 (RNF88), is a member of the TRIM/RBCC family defined by the presence of a tripartite motif containing a RING domain, a B-box type 1, and a B-box type 2, followed by a coiled-coil region. TRIM5 has six alternately spliced isoforms, the longest of which is the alpha variant which also contains a carboxy-terminal B30.2 (SPRY) domain. TRIM5 isoform alpha is a retrovirus restriction factor, which mediates species-specific, early block to retrovirus infection.

~55 kDa observed. Uniprot describes 6 isoforms ranging between ~30 kDa and ~56 kDa Uncharacterized bands may appear in some lysates.

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to the intermediate domain of human TRIM5 alpha.
