Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2T promotes tumor stem cell characteristics and migration of cervical cancer cells by regulating the GRP78/FAK pathway

Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2T (UBE2T) functions as an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme in the ubiquitin-proteasome degradation system and mediates cellular processes, such as cell cycle, proliferation, and differentiation. UBE2T has been considered to be an oncogene in a variety of tumors. However...
