Facts about RING finger protein 112.
Plays a role not only in the fetal period during the development of the nervous system, but also in the mature brain, where it is involved in the maintenance of neurological functions and defense of the nervous tissue cells from oxidative stress-induced damage. Exhibits GTPase and E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activities.

Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle, synaptic vesicle. Cell junction, synapse, postsynaptic density. Perikaryon. Cell projection, neuron projection. Predominantly in the nucleus, but some amounts were also found in the cytoplasm. Oxidative stress stimulates its shuttling from the cytoplasm into the nucleus. Recruited to nuclear bodies via its interaction with ZBTB16. Localizes to the cell soma and neuritis and only slightly to the nucleus i
