Background Information
TRIM21 has multiple N-terminal zinc finger motifs(has E3 ligase activity), a central leucine zipper, and a potential N-glycosylation site. TRIM21 is a E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase. It can form a ubiquitin ligase complex with E2 UBE2D2, which function not only for the uniquitination of USP4 and IKBKB but also for its self-ubiquitination. It has a role in the regulation of the cell cycle progression and could enhance the decapping activity of DCP2. It can exist in all mammalian cells as a ribonucleoprotein particle , which composed of a single polypeptide and 1 of 4 small RNA molecules. TRIM21 exists various isoforms and range molecular weight of isoforms is about 42-45kDa and 49-54 kDa.

Reviews
What customers say
Customers consistently rate this antibody 4–5 stars across six reviews. Users report strong, clear, and precise Western blot bands, often successful on the first attempt. It is described as reliable for both WB and immunofluorescence, detecting TRIM21 basal and fusion proteins in cell lines such as HEK293T, SH-SY5Y, and pancreatic beta cells. Typical dilutions are 1:500 for WB and 1:200 for IF. Several reviewers note routine, repeat use, highlighting its consistency and clean results across multiple applications.

fei (Verified Customer) (10-02-2025) | this Ab is very good. I got strong and clear bands.
|
Madison (Verified Customer) (05-28-2024) | The western blot showed very clear bands and had really precise staining. We got exactly what we wanted from the antibody on the first try
|
Paul (Verified Customer) (01-14-2020) | Used routinely for Western Blot.
|
Laura (Verified Customer) (01-14-2020) | Gives a clean Western blot.
|
Benjamin (Verified Customer) (01-10-2020) | Used many times in many WB and IF applications. Reliably antibody which detects TRIM21 basal as well as fusion proteins in WB and can be used to visualise TRIM21 in cells through IF.
