Rabbit anti-Human UBA1 Monoclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P22314

Target Species

Human

Target Name

UBA1

Target Full Name

Ubiquitin-like modifier-activating enzyme 1

Target Function

Catalyzes the first step in ubiquitin conjugation to mark cellular proteins for degradation through the ubiquitin-proteasome system. 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. Essential for the formation of radiation-induced foci, timely DNA repair and for response to replication stress. Promotes the recruitment of TP53BP1 and BRCA1 at DNA damage sites.

Target Involvement

Spinal muscular atrophy X-linked 2 (SMAX2)

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Mitochondrion. Nucleus.; [Isoform 1]: Nucleus.; [Isoform 2]: Cytoplasm.

Target Protein Families

Ubiquitin-activating E1 family

Target Tissue Specificity

Detected in erythrocytes (at protein level). Ubiquitous.

Target Background

The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the first step in ubiquitin conjugation to mark cellular proteins for degradation. This gene complements an X-linked mouse temperature-sensitive defect in DNA synthesis, and thus may function in DNA repair. It is part of a gene cluster on chromosome Xp11.23. Alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode the same protein have been described.
