RNF168
Human protein-coding gene
Ring finger protein 168 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RNF168 gene.
This gene encodes an E3 ubiquitin ligase protein that contains a RING finger domain, a motif present in a variety of functionally distinct proteins and known to be involved in protein-DNA and protein-protein interactions. The protein is involved in double-strand breaks (DSB) repair. Mutations in this gene result in RIDDLE syndrome.
