Summary

Enables ubiquitin protein ligase activity. Involved in protein K29-linked ubiquitination; protein K48-linked ubiquitination; and ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process. Predicted to be part of proteasome complex. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Forensic Context

A study in mice demonstrated that chronic methamphetamine administration significantly dysregulates the UBE3C in cortical microglia, as part of a broad disruption of the ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis pathway [Oladapo et al. DOI:10.3390/Ijms26020649].
