Anti-hUBPy antibody produced in rabbit

The Uses of Anti-hUBPy antibody produced in rabbit

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Biochem/physiol Actions

USP8 (ubiquitin specific peptidase 8) is a deubiquitinating enzyme. It is involved in the maintenance of endosomal morphology and organization by ubiquitination of the proteins. It is also associated with the cargo trafficking by regulating the chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) during endosomal transition. USP8 is also involved in the acrosomogenesis in vivo. It directly interacts with spermatid ESCRT-0 (endosomal-sorting complex required for transport-0) and microtubule structures to form the acrosome. After formation of the acrosomes, USP8 connects acrosome to microtubules via microtubule interacting and trafficking/transport (MIT) domain followed by acrosome assembly and shaping. Mutation in USP8 gene causes Cushing′s disease.
