Uba6 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable FAT10 activating enzyme activity and ubiquitin activating enzyme activity. Predicted to be involved in DNA damage response; protein ubiquitination; and ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including dendritic spine development; learning; and limbic system development. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Orthologous to human UBA6 (ubiquitin like modifier activating enzyme 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Uba6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
