E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase RAD18 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the RAD18 gene.The protein encoded by this gene is highly similar to S. cerevisiae DNA damage repair protein Rad18. Yeast Rad18 functions through its interaction with Rad6 which is a ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme required for post-replication repair of damaged DNA. Similar to its yeast counterpart this protein is able to interact with the human homolog of yeast Rad6 protein through a conserved ring finger motif.
