Ubiquitin antibody recognizes Ubiquitin, a highly conserved 76 amino acid protein encoded by the UBB gene and other ubiquitin precursor genes that plays a central role in protein homeostasis. Ubiquitin functions as a small regulatory protein that can be covalently attached to lysine residues on target proteins through an enzymatic cascade involving E1 activating enzymes, E2 conjugating enzymes, and E3 ligases. This post translational modification, known as ubiquitination, regulates protein stability, trafficking, signaling, and degradation.
Ubiquitination most commonly targets proteins for degradation by the 26S proteasome, particularly when polyubiquitin chains are formed through lysine 48 linkages. However, ubiquitin modifications can also regulate non degradative processes such as DNA repair, endocytosis, cell cycle progression, and signal transduction depending on the type of linkage and chain architecture. Lysine 63 linked ubiquitin chains, for example, are frequently associated with signaling pathways rather than proteasomal degradation. Through these diverse mechanisms, Ubiquitin is essential for maintaining cellular proteostasis and regulating dynamic biological responses.
The UBB gene encodes polyubiquitin precursor proteins that are processed to generate multiple ubiquitin monomers. Ubiquitin is ubiquitously expressed in virtually all cell types due to its fundamental role in cellular regulation. Dysregulation of ubiquitin pathways has been implicated in neurodegenerative disorders, inflammatory diseases, and cancer. Accumulation of ubiquitinated protein aggregates is a hallmark of certain neurodegenerative conditions, while aberrant ubiquitin mediated degradation of tumor suppressors or signaling molecules contributes to oncogenesis.
Ubiquitin is primarily localized in the cytoplasm and nucleus, where it is conjugated to substrate proteins and incorporated into ubiquitin chains. Ubiquitin antibody can detect both free ubiquitin and ubiquitin conjugated proteins depending on experimental context. The recombinant mouse monoclonal antibody clone rUBB/9476 is designed to detect Ubiquitin expression in research applications investigating proteasome function, protein turnover, stress responses, and ubiquitin signaling pathways. As a recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone rUBB/9476 supports consistent detection of UBB related ubiquitin protein across diverse biological samples.
Optimal dilution of the Ubiquitin antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A recombinant partial protein from human Ubiquitin protein (within amino acids 1-119) was used as the immunogen for the Ubiquitin antibody.
Aliquot the Ubiquitin antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
