UBE2L3

UBE2L3 is a gene that encodes a protein involved in the process of tagging other proteins for destruction or regulation, called ubiquitination. This process maintains cellular health by removing damaged or unneeded proteins. UBE2L3 acts as an enzyme that transfers a small molecule called ubiquitin to target proteins, marking them for degradation or altering their activity. Proper functioning of UBE2L3 is essential for processes like immune response, cell cycle regulation, and maintaining balanced protein levels. Dysregulation of UBE2L3 has been associated with autoimmune diseases and certain cancers.
