UniProt functional annotation for Q15819

UniProt code: Q15819.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Has no ubiquitin ligase activity on its own. The UBE2V2/UBE2N heterodimer catalyzes the synthesis of non-canonical poly-ubiquitin chains that are linked through 'Lys-63'. This type of poly- ubiquitination does not lead to protein degradation by the proteasome. Mediates transcriptional activation of target genes. Plays a role in the control of progress through the cell cycle and differentiation. Plays a role in the error-free DNA repair pathway and contributes to the survival of cells after DNA damage. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10089880, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562038, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20061386, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9705497}.
 
Subunit: Heterodimer with UBE2N. Binds CHFR. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22325355, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22589545}.
Tissue specificity: Detected in placenta, colon, liver and skin. Detected at very low levels in most tissues. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9199207, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9705497}.
Induction: Up-regulated in cultured fresh blood cells upon treatment with vitamin D3. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9199207}.
Similarity: Belongs to the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00388}.
