The modification of proteins with ubiquitin is an important cellular mechanism for targeting abnormal or short-lived proteins for degradation. Ubiquitination involves at least three classes of enzymes: ubiquitin-activating enzymes, or E1s, ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes, or E2s, and ubiquitin-protein ligases, or E3s. UBCH9 is a member of the E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family. The encoded protein shares 100% sequence identity with the mouse and rat counterparts, which indicates that this enzyme is highly conserved in eukaryotes. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found.1) Ito, K., et al., Cytogenet. Cell Genet. 84 (1-2), 99-104 (1999).
Immunogen
This UBCH9 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 176-206 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human UBCH9.
Antibody is used in Western blot to detect UBCH9 in Jurkat cell lysate.
Application Notes
For WB starting dilution is: 1:1000:
