RNF19A, RNF19, E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase RNF19A, Double ring-finger protein, RING finger protein 19A, p38

The protein encoded this gene contains two RING-finger motifs and an IBR (in between RING fingers) motif. This protein is an E3 ubiquintin ligase that is localized in Lewy bodies (LBs), a characteristic neuronal inclusion in Parkinson's disease (PD) brains. This protein interacts with UBE2L3/UBCH7 and UBE2E2/UBCH8, but not other ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes. This protein is found to bind and ubiquitylate synphilin 1 (SNCAIP), which is a interacting protein of alpha synuclein in neurons, and a major component of LB. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been reported.
