RING finger protein 112 (RNF112)

E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that plays a significant role in neuronal differentiation, such as neurogenesis and gliogenesis, during brain development. During embryonic development starts neuronal differentiation by inducing cell cycle arrest in the G0/G1 phase through up-regulation of cell- cycle regulatory proteins (PubMed:28684796).

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.
