Recombinant Human UCH-L1/PGP9.5 Protein, CF Summary

Product Specifications

Purity
>95%, by SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions and visualized by Colloidal Coomassie® Blue stain.
Activity
Recombinant Human UCH-L1 is a Ubiquitin-specific deconjugating enzyme. Reaction conditions will need to be optimized for each specific application. We recommend an initial Recombinant Human UCH-L1 concentration of 10-50 nM. A 15 minute pre-incubation with 10 mM DTT is recommended to achieve maximum activity.

Carrier Free

What does CF mean?

CF stands for Carrier Free (CF). We typically add Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) as a carrier protein to our recombinant proteins. Adding a carrier protein enhances protein stability, increases shelf-life, and allows the recombinant protein to be stored at a more dilute concentration. The carrier free version does not contain BSA.

What formulation is right for me?

In general, we advise purchasing the recombinant protein with BSA for use in cell or tissue culture, or as an ELISA standard. In contrast, the carrier free protein is recommended for applications, in which the presence of BSA could interfere.

Background: UCH-L1/PGP9.5

Ubiquitin Carboxyl-terminal Esterase L1 (UCH-L1), also known as PGP 9.5, is a deubiquitinating enzyme with a predicted molecular weight of 25 kDa (1). The human protein shares 95% amino acid sequence identity with its mouse and rat orthologs. UCH-L1 is expressed abundantly in neurons, accounting for 1-2% of total soluble proteins in the brain (2). It localizes primarily to the cytoplasm, but a subpopulation has been shown to be transiently nuclear (3,4). UCH-L1 contains two catalytic residues, Cys90 and His161, which are required for isopeptide bond cleavage at the C-terminal glycine residue of Ubiquitin (5). The levels of free Ubiquitin appear to be partially regulated by UCH-L1 through the hydrolysis of small Ubiquitin chains and the stabilization of monomeric Ubiquitin (6). Mice lacking functional UCH-L1 show neuronal dysfunction and neurodegeneration, and mutations in this enzyme have been linked to Parkinson's disease, suggesting that it is important for proper central nervous system function (7,8). UCH-L1 also likely plays a complex role in cancer. It has been reported to function as an oncogene in lymphoma, colorectal cancer, and nonsmall cell lung carcinoma (9-11). In contrast, it is thought to function as a tumor suppressor protein in nasopharyngeal and breast cancers (12,13).
