Gene information for UBE2A (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID7319
Official gene symbolUBE2A
Full nameubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2A (RAD6 homolog)
Aliases,HHR6A,RAD6A,UBC2,
Gene summaryThe 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. This enzyme is required for post-replicative DNA damage repair. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene and they encode distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq]
