{"symbol":"RNF4","synonyms":["SNURF","SLX5","RES4-26"],"name":"ring finger protein 4","description":"The protein encoded by this gene contains a RING finger motif and acts as a transcription regulator. This protein has been shown to interact with, and inhibit the activity of, TRPS1, a transcription suppressor of GATA-mediated transcription. Transcription repressor ZNF278/PATZ is found to interact with this protein, and thus reduce the enhancement of androgen receptor-dependent transcription mediated by this protein. Studies of the mouse and rat counterparts suggested a role of this protein in spermatogenesis. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 1.[provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]","ncbiEntrezGeneId":6047,"ncbiEntrezGeneUrl":"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/6047","proteins":[{"symbol":"RNF4_HUMAN","href":"/api/1.0/protein/RNF4_HUMAN"}],"hgncRootFamilies":[{"name":"Zinc fingers","href":"/api/1.0/gene_family/Zinc+fingers"}]}
