RNF5 ring finger protein 5 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 6048)
Symbol: RNF5
Full name: ring finger protein 5
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: RING5; RMA1
Summary: The protein encoded by this gene contains a RING finger, which is a motif known to be involved in protein-protein interactions. This protein is a membrane-bound ubiquitin ligase. It can regulate cell motility by targeting paxillin ubiquitination and altering the distribution and localization of paxillin in cytoplasm and cell focal adhesions. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
