anti-USP2 Antibody

USP2

USP2, UBP41, USP9

Ubiquitinating enzymes (UBEs) catalyze protein ubiquitination, a reversible process countered by deubiquitinating enzymes (DUB) action. There are five DUB subfamilies including the USP, UCH, OTU, MJD, and JAMM enzymes. Ubiquitin­specific­processing protease 2 (USP2) belongs to the USP (UBP/UCH type 2) subfamily and is characterized by its C19 peptidase activity, which is involved in ubiquitin recycling and in the disassembly of various forms of polymeric ubiquitin and ubiquitin like protein complexes. There is mounting evidence that USP2 functions as an oncoprotein through multiple mechanisms. In human prostate cancer, USP2 is highly overexpressed and drives tumor growth by binding to and stabilizing fatty acid synthase through deubiquitination. It has also been demonstrated that USP2 can bind and deubiquitinate both Mdm2 and cyclin D1, which leads to their stabilization and enhanced cell proliferation.

Liquid

100 µg of antibody in 100 µl PBS containing 0.02% sodium azide, 50% glycerol, pH 7.3

Affinity purified

Western blot, Immunohistochemistry, Immunofluorescence

Western blot: 1:200 – 1:500 dilution, IHC: 1:50 - 1:100 dilution. IF: 1:20 - 1:50 dilution. However, the optimal conditions should be determined individually.

Shelf time: 12 months in temp.: -20 deg.C

gel pack

The antibody solution should be gently mixed before use.

This antibody needs to be stored at + 4°C in a fridge short term in a concentrated dilution. Freeze thaw will destroy a percentage in every cycle and should be avoided.

If you buy Antibodies supplied by Biovision they should be stored frozen at - 24°C for long term storage and for short term at + 5°C.
