UBE2

UBE2 (Ubiquitin-Conjugating Enzyme E2) is a protein involved in the process of tagging other proteins for degradation or other cellular functions. It works as part of the ubiquitination system, where it helps attach a small protein called ubiquitin to target proteins. This tagging can mark proteins for destruction by the cell’s waste disposal system or alter their activity and location. UBE2 specifically carries and transfers ubiquitin from other enzymes to the target proteins, playing a crucial role in maintaining healthy cell function and regulating protein levels.
