UBE2D1 Recombinant Protein

Source : Escherichia Coli. UBE2D1 produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 170 amino acids (1-147 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 19kDa.UBE2D1 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. UBE2D1 is a member of the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family. Ubiquitination involves at least 3 classes of enzymes: ubiquitin-activating enzymes (E1s), ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes (E2s) and ubiquitin-protein ligases (E3s) . UBE2D1 is strongly related to a stimulator of iron transport (SFT), and is up-regulated in hereditary hemochromatosis. In addition, UBE2D1 functions in the ubiquitination of the tumor-suppressor protein p53 and the hypoxia-inducible transcription factor HIF1alpha by interacting with the E1 ubiquitin-activating enzyme and the E3 ubiquitin-protein ligases.
