title: Isolation and characterization of a novel human gene (HFB30) which encodes a protein with a RING finger motif.
abstract: A human cDNA, HFB30, encoding a novel protein that contains a RING finger (C3HC4-type zinc finger) motif was isolated. This cDNA clone consists of 3056 nucleotides and encodes an open reading frame of a 474 amino acid protein. From RT-PCR analysis, the messenger RNA was ubiquitously expressed in various human tissues. The gene was located to the chromosome 5q23.3-q31.1 region by PCR-based analyses with both a human/rodent monochromosomal hybrid cell panel and a radiation hybrid mapping panel. Furthermore, the gene consists of nine exons that span about 20 kb of genome DNA.
