RNF125, E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase RNF125, RING finger protein 125, T-cell RING activation protein 1, TRAC-1
ring finger protein 125(RNF125) Homo sapiens This gene encodes a novel E3 ubiquitin ligase that contains a RING finger domain in the N-terminus and three zinc-binding and one ubiquitin-interacting motif in the C-terminus. As a result of myristoylation, this protein associates with membranes and is primarily localized to intracellular membrane systems. The encoded protein may function as a positive regulator in the T-cell receptor signaling pathway. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012],function:E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that acts as a positive regulator of T-cell activation. E3 ligase proteins mediate ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins.,pathway:Protein modification, protein ubiquitination.,similarity:Contains 1 RING-type zinc finger.,tissue specificity:Predominantly expressed in lymphoid tissues, including bone marrow, spleen and thymus. Also weakly expressed in other tissues. Predominant in the CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells, suggesting that it is preferentially confined to T-cells.,
