UBA6

Also known as E1-L2, MOP-4, UBE1L2, ubiquitin like modifier activating enzyme 6

Ubiquitin-like modifier-activating enzyme 6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the UBA6 gene.

UBA6

Name: ubiquitin like modifier activating enzyme 6
Type: protein-coding
Aliases: E1-L2, MOP-4, UBE1L2

Modification of proteins with ubiquitin (UBB; MIM 191339) or ubiquitin-like proteins controls many signaling networks and requires a ubiquitin-activating enzyme (E1), a ubiquitin conjugating enzyme (E2), and a ubiquitin protein ligase (E3). UBE1L2 is an E1 enzyme that initiates the activation and conjugation of ubiquitin-like proteins (Jin et al., 2007 [PubMed 17597759]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008].
