UBE2V2 comprises a distinct subfamily within the E2 protein family. They have sequence similarity to other ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes however require the conserved cysteine residue that is vital for the catalytic activity of E2s. UBE2V2 shares homology with ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 variant 1 and yeast MMS2 gene product. UBE2V2 participates in the differentiation of monocytes and enterocytes Synonyms: DDVit-1, DDVIT1, EDAF-1, EDPF-1, EDPF1, MMS2, UEV-2, UEV2, Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 variant 2, Enterocyte differentiation-associated factor 1, Enterocyte differentiation-promoting factor 1, Vitamin D3-inducible protein, UBE2V2
