Ring Finger Protein 113A (RNF113A)

RNF113A encodes a protein which contains a C3H1-type zinc finger domain and a C3HC4 Ring-type (Really Interesting New Gene-type) zinc finger domain. The Ring-type zinc finger domain is identified in various tumor suppressors, DNA repair genes and cytokine receptor-associated molecules, and is probably involved in mediating protein-protein interactions. ZNF183 and ITBA4, were novel genes whose function cannot directly be inferred from their sequence analysis. However, a known motif, the C3HC4 Ring finger domain, shared by various tumor suppressors, DNA repair genes and cytokine receptor-associated molecules, is present at the C terminus of the ubiquitously expressed ZNF183 gene. ITBA4 is expressed at various levels in different tissues and is alternatively processed in brain.
