Ube2l6 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable ISG15 transferase activity; ubiquitin binding activity; and ubiquitin conjugating enzyme activity. Predicted to be involved in innate immune response; protein modification by small protein conjugation; and ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within modification-dependent protein catabolic process. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human UBE2L6 (ubiquitin conjugating enzyme E2 L6).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Ube2l6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
