UBE2A

UBE2A is a gene that produces an enzyme involved in the process of tagging proteins for degradation or other cellular functions, a method called ubiquitination. This process helps cells maintain proper protein balance, repair, and regulation. UBE2A works together with other proteins to attach a small molecule called ubiquitin to target proteins, signaling them for destruction or modulating their activity. Proper function of UBE2A is essential for normal cell health, and mutations in this gene can be linked to developmental disorders, affecting brain function and growth.
