Background of the antigen
RORET, also known as RING finger protein 15 (RNF15) or zinc finger protein RoRet, is a 465 amino acid member of the TRIM family, also known as the RING-B-box coiled-coil (RBCC) family. Members of the RBCC family have an N-terminal RING finger, followed by one or two zinc-binding domains (B-box domains), a leucine coiled-coil region and a variable C-terminal domain. Found in all eukaryotes, members of the RBCC family typically function within a larger protein complex and possess ubiquitin-protein isopeptide ligase activity.The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the tripartite motif (TRIM) family. The TRIM motif includes three zinc-binding domains, a RING, a B-box type 1 and a B-box type 2, and a coiled-coil region. The function of this protein has not been identified.
