MeSH Heading: Ubiquitin
Tree Number(s): D12.776.947.500
Unique ID: D025801
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D025801
Annotation: UBIQUITINS is also available
Scope Note: A highly conserved 76-amino acid peptide universally found in eukaryotic cells that functions as a marker for intracellular PROTEIN TRANSPORT and degradation. Ubiquitin becomes activated through a series of complicated steps and forms an isopeptide bond to lysine residues of specific proteins within the cell. These ubiquitinated proteins can be recognized and degraded by proteosomes or be transported to specific compartments within the cell.
Entry Term(s): APF-1; ATP-Dependent Proteolysis Factor 1; HMG-20; High Mobility Protein 20; Ubiquitin, Human
