Agtpbp1 Antibody - C-terminal region : FITC (ARP55206_P050-FITC)

Agtpbp1 is a metallocarboxypeptidase that mediates deglutamylation of target proteins. It catalyzes the deglutamylation of polyglutamate side chains generated by post-translational polyglutamylation in proteins such as tubulins. It also removes gene-encoded polyglutamates from the carboxy-terminus of target proteins such as MYLK. Agtpbp1 acts as a long-chain deglutamylase and specifically shortens long polyglutamate chains, while it is not able to remove the branching point glutamate, a process catalyzed by AGBL5/CCP5. Deglutamylation plays a key role in cerebellar Purkinje cell differentiation, accumulation of tubulin polyglutamylation causing neurodegeneration.

All conjugated antibodies should be stored in light-protected vials or covered with a light protecting material (i.e. aluminum foil) . Conjugated antibodies are stable for at least 12 months at 4C. If longer storage is desired (24 months), conjugates may be diluted with up to 50% glycerol and stored at -20C to -80C. Freezing and thawing conjugated antibodies will compromise enzyme activity as well as antibody binding.
