GenAge entry for UBE2I (Homo sapiens)

Gene name (HAGRID: 85)

HGNC symbol: UBE2I
Aliases: UBC9
Common name: ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2I

Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection: Entry selected based on evidence linking the gene product to the regulation or control of genes previously linked to ageing
Description: UBE2I catalyzes the attachment of SUMO1 to other proteins. Although no direct evidence exists to suggest a role for UBE2I in ageing, it is related to, among others, WRN [903] and PCNA [490], suggesting it might play a role in DNA repair and perhaps even in ageing. UBE2I deficiency in mice results in embryonic lethality [1678].
