Ubc9 (Human ubiquitin conjugating enzyme 9) Human, Recombinant, expressed in E.coli

Human Ubc9 is homologous to ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes(E2s). However, instead of conjugating ubiquitin, it conjugates a ubiquitin homologue, small ubiquitin-like modifier 1(SUMO-1). And hUbc9 retains striking structural and functional conservation with yeast Ubc9. The ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation system has been recognized as a complete enzymatic pathway that is responsible for the selective degradation of abnormal and short-lived proteins. The conjugation of ubiquitin reuires the activities of ubiquitin-activating(E1) and -conjugating(E2) enzymes.
