{"symbol":"UBE2Q1","synonyms":["UBE2Q","GTAP","PRO3094","NICE-5","NICE5"],"name":"ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2Q family member 1","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 (E1s), ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes (E2s), and ubiquitin-protein ligases (E3s). This gene encodes a member of the E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family. The encoded protein is 98% identical to the mouse counterpart.
