The E2 Ubiquitin Conjugating Enzyme is a key component in the ubiquitin-proteasome system, which regulates protein degradation in cells. It facilitates the transfer of ubiquitin, a small protein, to target proteins, marking them for degradation or altering their function. This process is crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis and regulating various biological processes. E2 enzymes work in conjunction with E1 activating enzymes and E3 ligases, forming a complex network that ensures precise control over protein turnover. Dysregulation of E2 enzymes can lead to various diseases, including cancer and neurodegenerative disorders, highlighting their importance in cellular health and disease management.
