Ring Finger Protein 10 (RNF10)

RING finger protein 10 is a protein contains a ring finger motif, which is known to be involved in protein-protein interactions. The specific function of this protein has not yet been determined. EST data suggests the existence of multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants, however, their full length nature is not known.

The RING finger domain is a type of zinc finger which contains a Cys₃HisCys₄ amino acid motif which binds two zinc cations. This protein domain contains from 40 to 60 amino acids. The acronym RING stands for Really Interesting New Gene.Zinc finger (Znf) domains are relatively small protein motifs that bind one or more zinc atoms, and which usually contain multiple finger-like protrusions that make tandem contacts with their target molecule.
