Ring finger protein 213 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RNF213 gene.[1]

Clinical relevance

A genome-wide association study identified RNF213 as the first gene associated to Moyamoya disease.[2] Given that oxygen and glucose consumption scales with total neuron number, RNF213 may have played a role in facilitating the evolution of larger brains in primates.
