UniProt code: Q99816.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).

Function: Component of the ESCRT-I complex, a regulator of vesicular trafficking process. Binds to ubiquitinated cargo proteins and is required for the sorting of endocytic ubiquitinated cargos into multivesicular bodies (MVBs). Mediates the association between the ESCRT-0 and ESCRT-I complex. Required for completion of cytokinesis; the function requires CEP55. May be involved in cell growth and differentiation. Acts as a negative growth regulator. Involved in the budding of many viruses through an interaction with viral proteins that contain a late-budding motif P-[ST]-A-P. This interaction is essential for viral particle budding of numerous retroviruses. Required for the exosomal release of SDCBP, CD63 and syndecan (PubMed:22660413). It may also play a role in the extracellular release of microvesicles that differ from the exosomes (PubMed:22315426). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11916981, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17556548, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17853893, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21070952, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21757351, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22315426, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22660413}.

Tissue specificity: Heart, brain, placenta, lung, liver, skeletal, kidney and pancreas.
Domain: The UEV domain is required for the interaction of the complex with ubiquitin. It also mediates the interaction with PTAP/PSAP motifs of HIV-1 P6 protein and human spumaretrovirus Gag protein.
Domain: The coiled coil domain may interact with stathmin.
Domain: The UEV domain binds ubiquitin and P-[ST]-A-P peptide motif independently.
Ptm: Monoubiquitinated at multiple sites by LRSAM1 and by MGRN1. Ubiquitination inactivates it, possibly by regulating its shuttling between an active membrane-bound protein and an inactive soluble form. Ubiquitination by MGRN1 requires the presence of UBE2D1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15256501, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17229889, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19703557}.
Miscellaneous: [Isoform 2]: Detected in normal as well as cancer tissues. {ECO:0000305}.
Similarity: Belongs to the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family. UEV subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
