Ubiquitin-Conjugating Enzyme E2K (UBE2K) protein (His tag)
Description
Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 K is a protein that in humans is encoded by the UBE2K gene. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family. It binds selectively to a large region at the N terminus of huntingtin. This interaction is not influenced by the length of the huntingtin polyglutamine tract. This protein has been implicated in the degradation of huntingtin and suppression of apoptosis.Synonyms: HIP2, Huntingtin Interacting protein 2, HYPG, Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2-25K kDa, Ubiquitin-protein ligase, Ubiquitin carrier protein, LIG, HIP-2, E2(25K), DKFZp686J24237, OTTHUMP00000218440, EC 6.3.2.19.
