Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat UBE2D2 Polyclonal Antibody

Regulated degradation of misfolded, damaged or short-lived proteins in eukaryotes occurs via the ubiquitin (Ub)-proteasome system (UPS). An integral part of the UPS system is the ubiquitination of target proteins and covalent linkage of Ub-containing proteins to form polymeric chains, marking them as targets for 26S proteasome-mediated degradation. Ubiquitination of proteins is mediated by a cascade of enzymes which includes E1 (ubiquitin activating), E2 (ubiquitin conjugating), and E3 (ubiquitin ligases) enzymes. This gene encodes a member of the E2 enzyme family. Substrates of this enzyme include the tumor suppressor protein p53 and peroxisomal biogenesis factor 5 (PEX5). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants of this gene.UBE2D2 (Ubiquitin Conjugating Enzyme E2 D2) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with UBE2D2 include Smallpox and Retinitis Pigmentosa 42. Among its related pathways are CLEC7A (Dectin-1) signaling and CDK-mediated phosphorylation and removal of Cdc6. GO annotations related to this gene include ligase activity and acid-amino acid ligase activity. An important paralog of this gene is UBE2D3.
