Anti-Ubiquitin Activating Enzyme 6 (Ubiquitin-like Modifier-activating Enzyme 6, UBA6, E1-L2, FLJ108

UBE1L2 is a novel E1 enzyme specific for ubiquitin and belongs to the ubiquitin-activating E1 family. It is a part of the cascade to attach ubiquitin (Ub) covalently to substrate proteins. It activates ubiquitin by first adenylating its carboxy-terminal glycine residue with ATP and then linking this residue to the side chain of a cysteine residue in E1, yielding an ubiquitin-E1 thioester and free AMP. Its isoforms influence spermatogenesis and male fertility. It is highly expressed in human monocytes. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Western Blot: 1-3ug/ml, Immunohistochemistry (paraffin): 10ug/ml, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
