{"symbol":"UBE2N","synonyms":["HEL-S-71","UBC13","UBCHBEN; UBC13","UBCH-BEN","UBCH13"],"name":"ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2N","description":"The modification of proteins with ubiquitin is an important cellular mechanism for targeting abnormal or short-lived proteins for degradation. Ubiquitination involves at least three classes of enzymes: ubiquitin-activating enzymes, or E1s, ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes, or E2s, and ubiquitin-protein ligases, or E3s. This gene encodes a member of the E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family. Studies in mouse suggest that this protein plays a role in DNA postreplication repair.
