Rnf220 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables ubiquitin protein ligase activity. Involved in protein autoubiquitination and regulation of postsynaptic neurotransmitter receptor internalization. Acts upstream of or within nervous system development; positive regulation of DNA-binding transcription factor activity; and protein monoubiquitination. Located in cytoplasm. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynapse. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; genitourinary system; retina; and tooth. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypomyelinating leukodystrophy 23. Orthologous to human RNF220 (ring finger protein 220). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Rnf220 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
