Ube2a Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable ubiquitin conjugating enzyme activity and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including G2/M transition of mitotic cell cycle; positive regulation of mitophagy; and protein polyubiquitination. Predicted to act upstream of or within blastocyst hatching; maternal process involved in female pregnancy; and protein ubiquitination. Predicted to be located in XY body and chromatin. Predicted to be part of HULC complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in syndromic X-linked intellectual disability Nascimento type. Orthologous to human UBE2A (ubiquitin conjugating enzyme E2 A). [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 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.
