USP8 Antibody

USP8 is a ubiquitin specific protease that plays an important regulatory role at the level of protein turnover by preventing degradation. USP8 is involved in cell proliferation, and probably regulates the stability of STAM2 and RASGRF1. USP8 may regulate T-cell anergy mediated by RNF128 via the formation of a complex containing RNF128 and STAM2. As revealed by structur/function studies, USP8 forms a ternary complex with RNF128 and OTUB1, and interacts with the SH3 domain of STAM2 and RASGRF1. Expression of USP8 is induced Upon growth stimulation in starved human fibroblasts, and expression decreases in response to growth arrest induced by cell-cell contact.

This USP8 (UBPY) antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 1058-1087 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human USP8 (UBPY) .

Store at 4˚ C for three months and -20˚ C, stable for up to one year. As with all antibodies care should be taken to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
