    Summary
    Enables ISG15 transferase activity and ubiquitin conjugating enzyme activity. Involved in protein modification by small protein conjugation. Acts upstream of or within DNA damage response and positive regulation of G1/S transition of mitotic cell cycle. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Implicated in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
