Rnf5 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity; ubiquitin protein ligase activity; and ubiquitin-like protein conjugating enzyme binding activity. Predicted to be involved in protein polyubiquitination and proteolysis involved in protein catabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of autophagy; protein destabilization; and regulation of autophagosome assembly. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum and membrane. Orthologous to human RNF5 (ring finger protein 5). [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 rat Rnf5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
