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. This gene represents a readthrough transcript from genes TRIM6 and TRIM34, and it was described as a splice variant of TRIM34. This gene is mapped to chromosome 11p15, where it resides within a TRIM gene cluster. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]
