Human UCH-L1, recombinant (C-6His)

Recombinant Human Ubiquitin Carboxyl-Terminal Hydrolase Isozyme L1 is produced by our E.coli expression system and the target gene encoding Met1-Ala223 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus. Protein function: Ubiquitin-protein hydrolase involved both in the processing of ubiquitin precursors and of ubiquitinated proteins (Probable). This enzyme is a thiol protease that recognizes and hydrolyzes a peptide bond at the C-terminal glycine of ubiquitin (PubMed:9774100, PubMed:8639624, PubMed:12408865, PubMed:23359680). Also binds to free monoubiquitin and may prevent its degradation in lysosomes. The homodimer may have ATP-independent ubiquitin ligase activity (PubMed:12408865). [The UniProt Consortium]
