Background
The modification of proteins with ubiquitin is an important cellular mechanism for targeting abnormal or short-lived proteins for degradation. Ubiquitination involves at least three classes of enzymes: ubiquitin-activating enzymes, or E1s, ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes, or E2s, and ubiquitin-protein ligases, or E3s. This gene encodes a member of the E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family. The encoded protein shares 100% sequence identity with the mouse and rat counterparts, which indicates that this enzyme is highly conserved in eukaryotes. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2013],
Function
catalytic activity:ATP + ubiquitin + protein lysine = AMP + diphosphate + protein N-ubiquityllysine.,function:Catalyzes the covalent attachment of ubiquitin to other proteins. Participates in the regulation of transepithelial sodium transport in renal cells. May be involved in cell growth arrest.,pathway:Protein modification; protein ubiquitination.,similarity:Belongs to the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family.,subcellular location:Shuttles between the nucleus and cytoplasm in a IPO11-dependent manner.,subunit:The ubiquitin-loaded form interacts specifically with importin-11 (IPO11), leading to its import into the nucleus (By similarity). Interacts with NEDD4L.,tissue specificity:Ubiquitously expressed at low levels. Highly expressed in skeletal muscle.,
