Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable modification-dependent protein binding activity; nucleosome binding activity; and ubiquitin-protein transferase activity. Predicted to be involved in double-strand break repair via homologous recombination and negative regulation of double-strand break repair. Predicted to act upstream of or within DNA repair. Predicted to be located in cytosol; nuclear body; and nucleolus. Predicted to be active in nucleus and site of double-strand break. Is expressed in nervous system and retina. Orthologous to human RNF169 (ring finger protein 169).
