Gene: MKRN2

Alternate names for this Gene: HSPC070|RNF62

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a probable E3 ubiquitin ligase containing several zinc finger domains, that is a member of the makorin RING zinc-finger protein family. This gene overlaps the v-raf-1 murine leukemia viral oncogene homolog 1 (RAF1) gene in an antisense orientation and may have a co-regulatory function with RAF1. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 3

Location in Chromosome : 3p25.2

Description of this Gene: makorin ring finger protein 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
