UBE2V2 ubiquitin conjugating enzyme E2 V2

Gene ID: 7336, updated on 19-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: MMS2; UEV2; EDPF1; UEV-2; DDVIT1; EDAF-1; EDPF-1; DDVit-1

Summary

Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 variant proteins constitute a distinct subfamily within the E2 protein family. They have sequence similarity to other ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes but lack the conserved cysteine residue that is critical for the catalytic activity of E2s. The protein encoded by this gene also shares homology with ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 variant 1 and yeast MMS2 gene product. It may be involved in the differentiation of monocytes and enterocytes. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
