General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function Some E2s possess N and/or C-terminal extensions that mediate E2-specific processes: class I, enzyme consists of the catalytic domain, without extensions, Class II, enzyme has a N-terminal extension, class III, enzyme has a C-terminal extension, class IV, enzyme has both, N- and C-terminal extensions, showing differences in function, subcellular localization, stabilization of the interaction with E1 enzymes, or modulation of the activity of the interacting E3 Homo sapiens
physiological function the family of ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes is characterized by the presence of a highly conserved ubiquitin-conjugating (UBC) domain Homo sapiens
