Also known as UBCH8
Summary
UBE2L6 (ubiquitin conjugating enzyme E2 L6, HGNC:12490) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 11q12.1, encoding Ubiquitin/ISG15-conjugating enzyme E2 L6 (O14933). Catalyzes the covalent attachment of ubiquitin or ISG15 to other proteins.
The modification of proteins with ubiquitin is an important cellular mechanism for targeting abnormal or short-lived proteins for degradation. Ubiquitination involves at least three classes of enzymes: ubiquitin-activating enzymes (E1s), ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes (E2s) and ubiquitin-protein ligases (E3s). This gene encodes a member of the E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family. This enzyme is highly similar in primary structure to the enzyme encoded by the UBE2L3 gene. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 38 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
