Anti-UBE2S Antibody Picoband®, FITC Conjugate

This gene encodes a member of the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family. The encoded protein is able to form a thiol ester linkage with ubiquitin in a ubiquitin activating enzyme-dependent manner, a characteristic property of ubiquitin carrier proteins.

Collagen alpha-1 (XVII) chain; 180 kDa bullous pemphigoid antigen 2; Bullous pemphigoid antigen 2; 120 kDa linear IgA dermatosis antigen; Linear IgA disease antigen 1; LAD-1; 97 kDa linear IgA bullous dermatosis antigen; 97 kDa LAD antigen; 97-LAD; Linear IgA bullous disease antigen of 97 kDa; LABD97; COL17A1; BP180; BPAG2

Detected in skin. In the cornea, it is detected in the epithelial basement membrane, the epithelial cells, and at a lower level in stromal cells. Stratified squamous epithelia. Found in hemidesmosomes. Expressed in cornea, oral mucosa, esophagus, intestine, kidney collecting ducts, ureter, bladder, urethra and thymus but is absent in lung, blood vessels, skeletal muscle and nerves.

May play a role in the integrity of hemidesmosome and the attachment of basal keratinocytes to the underlying basement membrane. The 120 kDa linear IgA disease antigen is an anchoring filament component involved in dermal-epidermal cohesion. Is the target of linear IgA bullous dermatosis autoantibodies.
