Protein Name: Ubiquitin-like modifier-activating enzyme 6

UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: UBA6_HUMAN (A0AVT1)

Gene Name: UBA6

Synonyms: MOP4, UBE1L2

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).

Function: Activates ubiquitin by first adenylating its C-terminal glycine residue with ATP, and thereafter linking this residue to the side chain of a cysteine residue in E1, yielding a ubiquitin- E1 thioester and free AMP. Specific for ubiquitin, does not activate ubiquitin-like peptides. Differs from UBE1 in its specificity for substrate E2 charging. Does not charge cell cycle E2s, such as CDC34. Essential for embryonic development. Required for UBD/FAT10 conjugation. Isoform 2 may play a key role in ubiquitin system and may influence spermatogenesis and male fertility.
