Ubiquitin-Conjugating Enzyme E2 K (UBE2K) belongs to the E2 Ubiquitin-Conjugating Enzyme family. UBE2K is highly expressed in the brain; with highest levels found in cortex and striatum; and at lower levels in cerebellum and brainstem. UBE2K may mediate foam cell formation by the suppression of apoptosis of lipid-bearing macrophages through ubiquitination and subsequence degradation of p53/TP53. UBE2K is associated with the selective degradation of short-lived and abnormal proteins; such as the endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) of misfolded lumenal proteins. In addition; UBE2K is involved in Alzheimer's disease; Huntington's disease and antigen processing through its interaction with huntingtin; and MHC-heavy chain proteins.

< 1.0 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method.

Supplied as a 0.2 μm filtered solution of 50mM HEPES, 150mM NaCl, 2mM DTT, 10% Glycerol, pH 7.5.

Recombinant Human Ubiquitin-Conjugating Enzyme E2 K is produced by our E.coli expression system and the target gene encoding Met1-Asn200 is expressed with a GST tag at the N-terminus.
