Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme; Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2; and Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme/RWD-like. Is an ortholog of C. elegans
ubc-12. In C. elegans,
ubc-12 is involved in negative regulation of DNA damage response, signal transduction by
p53 class mediator; positive regulation of nematode male tail tip morphogenesis; and protein neddylation.
