Description
Recombinant full length human UBE2L6 (UBCH8) was expressed in E Coli cells using a N-terminal His tag. The gene accession number is NM_004223.
UBE2L6 (UBCH8) or ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2L 6 is a member of the E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family which is highly similar in primary structure to the enzyme encoded by the UBE2L3 gene. Ubiquitination involves at least three classes of enzymes: ubiquitin-activating enzymes (E1s), ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes (E2s) and ubiquitin-protein ligases (E3s) and the selective physical interaction between E2 and E3 enzymes forms the basis of specificity for functionally distinct E2-E3 combinations (1). UBE2L6 and the ubiquitin-ligase SIAH1 physically interact with and target FLT3-ITD for proteasomal degradation (2)
