    Summary
    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, or E1s, ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes, or E2s, and ubiquitin-protein ligases, or E3s. This gene encodes a member of the E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family. Three alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene.

    4. IPO11 provides protection in another way, the researchers found. The transport receptor also shuttles UBE2E1, an enzyme necessary for PTEN ubiquitination, into the nucleus. Thanks to IPO11, normal cells keep all of their UBE2E1 in the nucleus, allowing PTEN to continue functioning in the cytoplasm. In cells lacking IPO11, UBE2E1 remains in the cytoplasm and promotes the destruction of PTEN.

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
