Rnf13 Gene Summary [Mouse]
This gene encodes a member of the PA-TM-RING family of proteins that contain a protease associated (PA) domain and a RING finger domain separated by a transmembrane (TM) domain. The encoded protein is an E3 ubiquitin ligase localized to the endosomal-lysosomal vesicles and inner nuclear membrane. Mice lacking the encoded protein have impaired learning abilities associated with a decreased synaptic vesicle density and dysregulated SNARE complex assembly. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. A pseudogene for this gene has been identified on the X chromosome. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2015]

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 Rnf13 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
