Listerin E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 1 (LTN1), otherwise known as listerin, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LTN1 gene.^[5]

Function

Like most RING finger proteins, listerin functions as an E3 ubiquitin ligase.^[6] Listerin is a component of the ribosome quality control complex.^[7]^[8]
