NEDD8-conjugating enzyme Ubc12 is a
protein that in humans is encoded by the UBE2Mgene.[5][6]
The modification of proteins with
ubiquitin is an important cellular mechanism for targeting abnormal or short-lived proteins for
degradation. Ubiquitination involves at least three classes of enzymes:
ubiquitin-activating enzymes, or E1s,
ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes, or E2s, and
ubiquitin-protein ligases, or E3s. This gene encodes a member of the E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family. The encoded protein is linked with a
ubiquitin-like protein,
NEDD8, which can be conjugated to cellular proteins, such as Cdc53/culin.[6]
