MeSH definition : 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.;
MeSH synonym : atp-dependent proteolysis factor 1; high mobility protein 20; hmg-20; apf-1; atp dependent proteolysis factor 1;
MeSH hyponym : ubiquitin, human; Human Ubiquitin;
MeSH Related Number : ubiquitin, human; 79586-22-4 (human);
Related CAS MeSH : 79586-22-4 (Ubiquitin, human);
MeSH annotation : UBIQUITINS is also available;
