Biological Description

Specificity	UBE2N/Ubc13 Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of total UBE2N/Ubc13 protein. This antibody does not cross-react with UBE2D family members.
Background	UBE2N (also known as UBC13) is a K63-ubiquitin-specific E2 conjugating enzyme that plays a critical role in various cellular processes. It forms heterodimers with UBE2V1 (also known as UEV1A) and UBE2V2 (also known as MMS2) to mediate K63-linked polyubiquitination. The UBE2N/UBE2V1 heterodimer, along with TRAF6 as the E3 ligase, activates the NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways, essential for immune responses and embryogenesis. The UBE2N/UBE2V2 heterodimer participates in DNA repair and cell cycle regulation primarily in the nucleus. UBE2N also plays a significant role in maintaining epidermal homeostasis and skin immunity, with potential therapeutic implications for inflammatory skin disorders via the IRAK1/4 pathway. Additionally, UBE2N regulates p53 by promoting its monomeric form and reducing its transcriptional activity, impacting cell cycle and apoptosis.
