NCIt definition : Human RNF213 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 17q25.3 and is approximately
135 kb in length. This allele, which encodes E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase RNF213 protein,
may play a role in the regulation of protein ubiquitination. A chromosomal translocation
t(2;17)(p23;q25) of this gene with the ALK gene is associated with anaplastic large
cell lymphoma.;
NCIt note : The RNF213 gene also encodes protein ALO17. (EntrezGene);
