RBBP6 is highly up regulated in oesophageal cancer, and has been shown to be a promising target for immunotherapy against the disease. RBBP6 is also known to play a role in mRNA splicing, cell cycle control and apoptosis.en15N-HSQC1H-113Cd-HSQCCadmium ionCoordinationExpressionRINGSpectroscopyZinc ionAn investigation of the zinc binding characteristics of the RING finger domain from the human RBBP6 protein using heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy.ThesisUniversity of the Western Cape
