UBCH7-like ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme

摘要

The present invention provides a human ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (UBCPB) and polynucleotides which identify and encode UBCPB. The invention also provides genetically engineered expression vectors and host cells comprising the nucleic acid sequences encoding UBCPB and a method for producing UBCPB. The invention also provides for agonists, antibodies, or antagonists specifically binding UBCPB, and their use, in the prevention and treatment of diseases associated with expression of UBCPB. Additionally, the invention provides for the use of antisense molecules to polynucleotides encoding UBCPB for the treatment of diseases associated with the expression of UBCPB. The invention also provides diagnostic assays which utilize the polynucleotide, or fragments or the complement thereof, and antibodies specifically binding UBCPB.
