NCIt synonyms : RING Finger Protein 2; RING-Type E3 Ubiquitin Transferase RING2; RING Finger Protein BAP-1; Huntingtin-Interacting Protein 2-Interacting Protein 3; RING Finger Protein 1B; HIP2-Interacting Protein 3; EC 2.3.2.27; Protein DinG; RING1b; RNF2;
NCIt definition : E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase RING2 (336 aa, 38 kDa) is encoded by the human RNF2 gene.
This protein is involved in both transcriptional repression and the monoubiquitination
of lysine-119 of histone H2A.;
NCIt note : E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase RING2 is a member of a Polycomb group (PcG) protein complex
that plays a role in transcriptional repression of genes during embryonic development
and in imprinting.;
