Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable ISG15 transferase activity and ubiquitin conjugating enzyme activity. Predicted to be involved in protein modification by small protein conjugation. Predicted to act upstream of or within DNA damage response and positive regulation of G1/S transition of mitotic cell cycle. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including eye; genitourinary system; gut; integumental system; and nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human UBE2E2 (ubiquitin conjugating enzyme E2 E2).
