Ring Finger Protein 215 (RNF215)

Ring Finger Protein 215 (RNF215)
The RING-type zinc finger motif is present in a number of viral and eukaryotic proteins and is made of a conserved cysteine-rich domain that is able to bind two zinc atoms. Proteins that contain this conserved domain are generally involved in the ubiquitination pathway of protein degradation.
RNF215 (ring finger protein 215), is a 377 amino acid multi-pass membrane protein containing one RING-type zinc finger. The gene encoding RNF215 maps to human chromosome 22, which houses over 500 genes and is the second smallest human chromosome. Mutations in several of the genes that map to chromosome 22 are involved in the development of Phelan-McDermid syndrome, neurofibromatosis type 2, autism and schizophrenia.
