Official Full Name: ring finger protein 2
Also known as: BAP1; DING; BAP-1; HIPI3; RING2; LUSYAM; RING1B
Polycomb group (PcG) constitutes a multiprotein complex that plays an important role in the transcriptional repression of various genes involved in development and cell proliferation. The protein encoded by this gene is one of the PcG proteins. It has been shown to interact with and inhibit the activity of transcription factor CP2 (TFCP2/CP2). Studies of the mouse counterpart suggested the involvement of this gene in the specification of anterior-posterior axis, as well as in cell proliferation in early development. This protein was also found to interact with huntingtin interacting protein 2 (HIP2), an ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme, and possesses ubiquitin ligase activity.
