Rnf10 - ring finger protein 10 Gene

The protein encoding this gene is a member of the really interesting new gene finger protein family. Members of this family contain protein motifs similar to zinc finger domains and are involved in many processes that include transcriptional regulation, DNA repair and signal transduction. Expression of this gene is upregulated during neuronal differentiation of cultured cells, and inhibition of its expression impairs differentiation and cell cycle exit, providing evidence for a function in neuronal differentiation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014]
