Biology:RNF122

Short description: Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens

Generic protein structure example

RING finger protein 122 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RNF122 gene.

The protein encoded by this gene contains a RING finger, a motif present in a variety of functionally distinct proteins and known to be involved in protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions.
