General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function the family of ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes is characterized by the presence of a highly conserved ubiquitin-conjugating (UBC) domain Homo sapiens
physiological function Some E2s possess N and/or C-terminal extensions that mediate E2-specific processes: class I, enzyme consists of the catalytic domain, without extensions, Class II, enzyme has a N-terminal extension, class III, enzyme has a C-terminal extension, class IV, enzyme has both, N- and C-terminal extensions, showing differences in function, subcellular localization, stabilization of the interaction with E1 enzymes, or modulation of the activity of the interacting E3 Homo sapiens
