UBE2D3 (Ubiquitin Conjugating Enzyme E2 D3) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with UBE2D3 include Retinitis Pigmentosa 42. Among its related pathways are CDK-mediated phosphorylation and removal of Cdc6 and Protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum. 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. UBE2D3 encodes a member of the E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family. This enzyme functions in the ubiquitination of the tumor-suppressor protein p53, which is induced by an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase.
