RNF157 (Ring finger protein 157) is a novel E3 ubiquitin ligase predominantly expressed in the brain. It has a molecular mass of 110kDa.
Synonyms: Anti-KIAA1917; Anti-ring finger protein 157
Storage: -20C
Application: All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Biochem Physiol Actions: RNF157 (Ring finger protein 157) is highly involved in the regulation of neuronal development and morphology of the neurons. It promotes dendritic growth by interacting with adaptor protein Fe65. Its N-terminal end binds to the second PTB domain of Fe65 to ubiquitinate Fe65 via E3 ligase activity. It has also been reported that RNF157 may be involved in the regulation of membrane protein trafficking.
