Taxonomic lineage

Eukaryota › Metazoa › Chordata › Craniata › Vertebrata › Euteleostomi › Mammalia › Eutheria › Euarchontoglires › Primates › Haplorrhini › Catarrhini › Hominidae › Homo

Protein attributes

Sequence length	154 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Catalyzes the covalent attachment of ubiquitin to other proteins. Mediates the selective degradation of short-lived and abnormal proteins. Functions in the E6/E6-AP-induced ubiquitination of p53/TP53.
Catalytic activity	ATP + ubiquitin + protein lysine = AMP + diphosphate + protein N-ubiquityllysine.
Pathway	Protein modification; protein ubiquitination.
Subunit structure	Binds UBE3A, HEI10, CBL, ZAP70, RNF19A, RNF19B and RNF144B.
Tissue specificity	Ubiquitous, with highest expression in testis.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family.
Caution	Ref.10 reported that UBE2L1, UBE2L2 and UBE2L4 are most likely pseudogenes and the only expressed member of this subfamily seems to be UBE2L3.
