Rnf128 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable ubiquitin protein ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of protein stability and ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of cytokine production. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus; endoplasmic reticulum; and late endosome. Orthologous to human RNF128 (ring finger protein 128). [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 Rnf128 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
