Gene: UBE2Q1

Alternate names for this Gene: GTAP|NICE-5|NICE5|PRO3094|UBE2Q

Gene Summary: 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 (E1s), ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes (E2s), and ubiquitin-protein ligases (E3s). This gene encodes a member of the E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family. The encoded protein is 98% identical to the mouse counterpart.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 1

Location in Chromosome : 1q21.3

Description of this Gene: ubiquitin conjugating enzyme E2 Q1
