Facts about Polycomb group RING finger protein 5.
Within the PRC1-like complex, regulates RNF2 ubiquitin ligase activity (By similarity). Plays a redundant role with PCGF3 as part of a PRC1-like complex that mediates monoubiquitination of histone H2A'Lys-119' on the X chromosome and is required for normal silencing of a single copy of the X chromosome in XX females (PubMed:28596365).
