Ubiquitin-like modifier activating enzyme 5 (UBA5) is a member of the ubiquitin-activating E1 family and UBA5 subfamily. Ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like proteins are recognized as covalently conjugated to various cellular substrates by a three-step enzymatic pathway. The ubiquitin-activating enzyme (E1) has a vital role in the first step of ubiquitination pathway to activate ubiquitin or ubiquitin-like proteins. UBA5 activates an ubiquitin-like protein, ubiquitin-fold modifier 1 (Ufm1), by forming a high-energy thioester bond. UBA5 is located primarily in cytoplasm, while it generally localizes to the nucleus in presence of SUMO2.

UBA5 Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 428 amino acids (1-404) and having a molecular mass of 47.4kDa.
UBA5 is fused to a 24 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
