Ube2a Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables ubiquitin conjugating enzyme activity and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of mitophagy. Acts upstream of or within blastocyst hatching; maternal process involved in female pregnancy; and protein ubiquitination. Located in XY body and chromatin. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; female reproductive system; integumental system; and respiratory system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in syndromic X-linked intellectual disability Nascimento type. Orthologous to human UBE2A (ubiquitin conjugating enzyme E2 A).

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 mouse Ube2a often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
