Scientific Background

Ubiquitin D, also called UBD or FAT10 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the UBD gene. This gene is mapped to 6p22.1. Ubiquitin-like protein modifier can be covalently attached to target protein and subsequently leads to their degradation by the 26S proteasome in a NUB1L-dependent manner. This gene may be involved in dendritic cell (DC) maturation, the process by which immature dendritic cells differentiate into fully competent antigen-presenting cells that initiate T-cell responses. It may be involved in the formation of aggresomes when proteasome is saturated or impaired. This gene mediates apoptosis in a caspase-dependent manner, especially in renal epithelium and tubular cells during renal diseases such as polycystic kidney disease and Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated nephropathy (HIVAN). It probably functions as a survival factor..
