OverviewNCBI Gene

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. Four alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against UBE2I can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Does the body need this protein intact? Low LOEUF or a strong DepMap dependency means loss or blockade of the protein is likely to be felt.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads UBE2I as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against UBE2I could matter depends on whether native UBE2I is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

UBE2I is annotated as predominantly intracellular. Intracellular proteins are common autoantibody markers, becoming visible to the immune system after cell injury or altered processing, but are usually markers of disease rather than direct drivers.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label UBE2I as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
