Background
This gene encodes a member of the RING zinc finger protein family found in striated muscle and iris. The product of this gene is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that localizes to the Z-line and M-line lattices of myofibrils. This protein plays an important role in the atrophy of skeletal and cardiac muscle and is required for the degradation of myosin heavy chain proteins, myosin light chain, myosin binding protein, and for muscle-type creatine kinase.

Function
caution:It is uncertain whether Met-1 or Met-14 is the initiator.,developmental stage:Expressed throughout all developmental stages.,domain:The RING-type zinc finger mediates interaction with SUMO2 and localization to the nucleus. Also required for the E3 ubiquitin ligase activity.,function:E3 ubiquitin ligase. Regulates proteasomal degradation of cardiac troponin I/TNNI3 and probably of other sarcomeric-associated proteins. May play a role in striated muscle atrophy and hypertrophy by regulating an anti-hypertrophic PKC-mediated signaling pathway. May regulate the organization of myofibrils through TTN in muscle cells.,pathway:Protein modification; protein ubiquitination.,sequence caution:Sequencing errors.,similarity:Contains 1 B box-type zinc finger.,similarity:Contains 1 COS domain.,similarity:Contains 1 RING-type zinc finger.,subcellular location:Localizes to the M- and Z-lines in s
