Generic protein structure example

Ring finger protein 24 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RNF24 gene.[1][2]

RNF24 binds TRPC6 (603652) and other transient receptor potential cation channel (TRPC) family members and is involved in regulation of intracellular trafficking of TRPCs.[2] In addition, RNF24 contains similarity to the Drosophila goliath protein and thus may function as a transcription factor.[1]
