Ring finger protein 213 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RNF213 gene.[1] RNF213 is a 591kDa cytosolic E3 ubiquitin ligase with RING finger and AAA+ ATPase domains.

Clinical relevance

Chromosome-wide linkage analysis found that moyamoya disease locus resides in chromosome 17q25.[2] Genome-wide linkage analysis of 15 Japanese families of autosomal dominant moyamoya disease narrowed down the locus to 17q25.3.[3] Direct sequencing of the region and whole-exome sequencing identified the p.Arg4810Lys mutation in RNF213 gene as a founder mutation of moyamoya disease.[4] A genome-wide association study also identified RNF213 as a disease causing gene for Moyamoya disease.[5] Comparative evolutionary genome sequencing analyses in humans and monkeys showed that the strongest evidence for acceleration along the branch leading to hominines was RNF213.[6] RNF213 has been shown to be associated with blood flow and oxygen consumption.[7][8][9] Given that oxygen and glucose consumption scales with total neuron number, RNF213 may have played a role in facilitating the evolution of larger brains in primates.[6]
