  • localized to the postsynaptic compartment of excitatory synapses
  • basic FUNCTION
  • should have a neuronal function during fetal growth
  • plays an important role during embryonic development of the central and peripheral nervous systems
  • RNF220 and its cofactor ZC4H2 participate in ventral neural tube patterning by modulating Shh/Gli signaling
  • ubiquitin E3 ligase RNF220 and its co-factor ZC4H2 are required for multiple neural developmental processes through different targets, including spinal cord patterning and the development of the cerebellum and the locus coeruleus

  • Zn2+
  • protein
  • RNF220 cooperates with ZC4H2 to specify spinal progenitor domains (
  • ZC4H2 is required for the stability of RNF220 and also proper Gli ubiquitination and signaling
  • ZC4H2 is a positive modulator of TRPV4
  • ZC4H2 and RNF220 are likely involved in the regulation of neural stem cell proliferation and differentiation through CEND1
