RNF180 is a type of ring finger protein with ubiquitin ligase activity, which can affect various physiological processes such as cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis by participating in the ubiquitinproteasome system. Studies have shown that RNF180 is mostly low-expressed in tumors, which can inhibit the proliferation and invasion of gastric cancer cells, and affect the lymph node metastasis and prognosis of gastric cancer. The gene expression silencing caused by the methylation of the promoter of RNF180 is the main reason for the low expression of RNF180 protein in tumors. Important methylation sites are related to precancerous lesions, lymph node metastasis of gastric cancer and patient prognosis. Therefore, RNF180 has the potential to become a biomarker of gastric cancer tumors.
