NCIt synonyms : EC 2.3.2.31; Parkinson Juvenile Disease Protein 2; Parkin; Parkinson Disease Protein 2; EC 6.3.2.-, Formerly; Parkin RBR E3 Ubiquitin-Protein Ligase; Parkinson Protein 2 E3 Ubiquitin Protein Ligase; PRKN;
NCIt definition : E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase parkin (465 aa, 52 kDa) is encoded by the human PRKN
gene. This protein may play a role in the ubiquitination of proteins targeted for
proteasomal degradation.;
NCIt note : E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase parkin is an atypical E3 ligase in the RBR (RING-betweenRING-RING)
family. RBR E3 ligases are characterized by two RING fingers separated by a cysteine-rich
RING region. (InterPro);
