Rlim Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables ubiquitin protein ligase activity. Involved in protein ubiquitination; random inactivation of X chromosome; and ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of DNA-binding transcription factor activity and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; extraembryonic component; limb; male reproductive system; and urinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Tonne-Kalscheuer syndrome. Orthologous to human RLIM (ring finger protein, LIM domain interacting). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Rlim often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
