Summary

RNF180 (ring finger protein 180, HGNC:27752) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 5q12.3, encoding E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase RNF180 (Q86T96). E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase which promotes polyubiquitination and degradation by the proteasome pathway of ZIC2.

Predicted to enable ubiquitin conjugating enzyme binding activity and ubiquitin protein ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in norepinephrine metabolic process; positive regulation of proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process; and serotonin metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including adult behavior; positive regulation of protein ubiquitination; and protein polyubiquitination. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum; membrane; and nuclear envelope. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane.
