HECT, C2 and WW domain containing E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HECW2 gene .[1]
Model organisms Model organisms have been used in the study of HECW2 function. A conditional knockout mouse line called Hecw2tm1a(EUCOMM)Wtsi was generated at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute .[2] phenotypic screen [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]
Clinical significance Mutations in the HECW2 gene have been associated to epilepsy and intellectual disability . These mutations affect one copy of the HECW2 gene and are believed to change the function of the HECW2 protein.[9]
