Anti-UBE2J1/Ubc6E Antibody

This antibody is suitable for Cancer, Immunology and Nuclear Signaling research. Ube2j1 and Ube2j2 are homologs of the yeast ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme UBC6, which catalyzes the covalent attachment of ubiquitin to other proteins. These proteins constitute a distinct family of ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes sharing a conserved non-canonical active site sequence and a C-terminal transmembrane domain. By analogy with yeast UBC6, Ube2j1 and Ube2j2 are localized to the endoplasmic reticulum and seem to function in the selective degradation of misfolded membrane proteins and in general mediation of the stress response.

This affinity purified antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the amino terminus of the human Ube2j1 protein.

This affinity purified antibody is directed against human Ube2j1 protein. The product was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with Ube2j1 protein from human, mouse and rat based on 100% homology with the immunizing sequence. Reactivity against homologues from other sources is not known.

Catalyzes the covalent attachment of ubiquitin to other proteins. Functions in the selective degradation of misfolded membrane proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum (ERAD) .

Store vial at -20°C prior to opening. Aliquot contents and freeze at -20°C or below for extended storage. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature. This product is stable for several weeks at 4°C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use. Expiration date is one (1) year from date of opening.

This affinity purified antibody has been tested for use in ELISA, western blotting and immunoprecipitation. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect a band approximately 35-40 kDa in size corresponding to Ube2j1 protein by western blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract.
