UBL3, also known as Ubiquitin-Like 3, is a protein encoded by the UBL3 gene in humans. This protein belongs to the ubiquitin-like protein family, which is characterized by its similarity to ubiquitin, a small regulatory protein that has a vital role in ubiquitination, a process that tags proteins for degradation by the proteasome or alters their cellular location and activity.
Unlike ubiquitin, which is primarily associated with protein degradation, UBL3 and other ubiquitin-like proteins are implicated in diverse cellular processes, including protein stabilization, cell cycle regulation, and signal transduction. UBL3 specifically is known to be conjugated to target proteins through a post-translational modification known as lipidation. This modification is essential for membrane targeting and subcellular localization of proteins, which is crucial for their proper function.The functional role of UBL3 is not as extensively studied as ubiquitin, but it is believed to play a role in the modification of membrane proteins and to impact their trafficking and function. For instance, UBL3 has been shown to modify the beta2-adrenergic receptor, a well-known G protein-coupled receptor, which suggests its potential involvement in the regulation of receptor-mediated cellular signaling pathways.
