Validated All-in-One™ qPCR Primer for UBB(NM_001281719.1) Search again
By default, qPCR primer pairs are designed to measure the expression level of the splice variant (accession number) you selected for this gene WITHOUT consideration of other possible variants of this gene. If this gene has multiple variants, and you would like to measure the expression levels of one particular variant, multiple variants, or all variants, please contact us for a custom service project at inquiry@genecopoeia.com.

Summary
This gene encodes ubiquitin, one of the most conserved proteins known. Ubiquitin is required for ATP-dependent, nonlysosomal intracellular protein degradation of abnormal proteins and normal proteins with a rapid turnover. Ubiquitin is covalently bound to proteins to be degraded, and presumably labels these proteins for degradation. Ubiquitin also binds to histone H2A in actively transcribed regions but does not cause histone H2A degradation, suggesting that ubiquitin is also involved in regulation of gene expression. This gene consists of three direct repeats of the ubiquitin coding sequence with no spacer sequence.

- In sporadic inclusion-body myositis, UBB+1 may be pathogenic by inhibiting proteasome, thereby promoting accumulation of cytotoxic misfolded amyloid-beta and phosphorylated-tau.
- UBB+1, a mutant form of ubiquitin was present in the majority of NFTs, whereas co-existence of alpha-synuclein and UBB+1 was found in only a few neurons in cases of combined multiple system atrophy and Alzheimer's disease.
- K63-polyubiquitination guards against chemical carcinogenesis by preventing mutagenesis and thus contributing to genomic stability
- UBB(+1), at low expression levels, is efficiently degraded by the proteasome, but at high levels, the proteasome failed to degrade UBB(+1), causing its accumulation.
