Description
Recombinant full length human UBE2D3 (UBCH5C) was expressed in E. coli cells using an N-terminal His tag.
Scientific Background: UBE2D3 also known as UBCH5C or ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2D 3 is a member of the E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family which is an important cellular mechanism for targeting abnormal or short-lived proteins for degradation. UBE2D3 is involved in RA-induced cell cycle arrest and as a mediator of all-trans retinoic acid-induced cell growth arrest in human acute promyelocytic NB4 cells (1). UBE2D3 functions in the ubiquitination of the tumor-suppressor protein p53, which is induced by an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase and is critical for normal cellular, tissue, and organismal physiology (2)
