UbcH2 is the human homolog to the yeast DNA repair gene RAD6 and is inducible by DNA damaging agents. Also associated with cancer-induced cachexia and the degradation of "N-end rule" substrates. UbcH2 mRNA level in muscle has also been correlated with sepsis. Moreover, c-Jun and c-Fos transcription factors have been shown to be ubiquitinated by an UbcH2-mediated event. TNF-α was shown to stimulate expression of UbcH2 in skeletal muscle cells by increasing binding of NFκ-B to the promoter region of UbcH2, inducing transcription.
