USP8 Antibody - N-terminal region : FITC (ARP59292_P050-FITC)

USP8 is a hydrolase that can remove conjugated ubiquitin from proteins and therefore plays an important regulatory role at the level of protein turnover by preventing degradation. USP8 converts both 'Lys-48' an 'Lys-63'-linked ubiquitin chains. USP8 catalytic activity is enhanced in the M phase. USP8 is involved in cell proliferation. USP8 is required to enter into S phase in response to serum stimulation. USP8 may regulate T-cell anergy mediated by RNF128 via the formation of a complex containing RNF128 and OTUB1. USP8 probably regulates the stability of STAM2 and RASGRF1. USP8 regulates endosomal ubiquitin dynamics, cargo sorting, membrane traffic at early endosomes, and maintenance of ESCRT-0 stability. The level of protein ubiquitination on endosomes is essential for maintaining the morphology of the organelle.USP8 deubiquitinates EPS15 and controles tyrosine kinase stability.USP8 removes conjugated ubiquitin from EGFR thus regulating EGFR degradation and downstream MAPK signaling. USP8 is involved in acrosome biogenesis through interaction with the spermatid ESCRT-0 complex and microtubules.

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.
