RNF43 (E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase RNF43) is an enzyme. The public catalogues list it as an oncogene driver and a tumour suppressor, and it is called a cancer driver by mutation analysis of patient cohorts. Tied to Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, Colorectal cancer, Gastric & gastro-oesophageal junction cancer and 5 more. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.

Biology

E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that acts as a negative regulator of the Wnt signalling pathway by mediating the ubiquitination, endocytosis and subsequent degradation of Wnt receptor complex components Frizzled. Acts on both canonical and non-canonical Wnt signalling pathway. Along with RSPO2 and ZNRF3, constitutes a master switch that governs limb specification. Location: Cell membrane; Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Nucleus envelope (UniProt). Locus 17q22 (HGNC).
