Rnf7 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable NEDD8 ligase activity; cullin family protein binding activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response; protein modification by small protein conjugation; and regulation of neuron migration. Predicted to act upstream of with a negative effect on reelin-mediated signaling pathway. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including apoptotic mitochondrial changes; brain development; and intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in response to oxidative stress. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of Cul5-RING ubiquitin ligase complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Orthologous to human RNF7 (ring finger protein 7). [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 rat Rnf7 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
