Description
Recombinant full length human UBE2H was expressed in E. coli cells using an N-terminal His tag.
Scientific Background: UBE2H or ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2H is a member of the E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family which is located on chromosome 7 (1). UBE2H is known to act on histones and cytoskeletal proteins, both involved in the degenerative pathway of the motor neuron. UBE2H expression is increased during erythroid differentiation of hCD34(+) cells. Tal1 transcription factor, which is essential for the development of the hematopoietic system and plays a role during definitive erythropoiesis in the adult, activates UBE2H expression, whereas Tal1 knock-down reduced UBE2H expression and ubiquitin transfer activity (2)
