Ubiquitin Carboxyl-Terminal Hydrolase Isozyme L1 (UCHL1) belongs to the Peptidase C12 family. UCHL1 is specifically expressed in the neurons and in cells of the diffuse neuroendocrine system. UCHL1 is a component of the ubiquitin system, which has a fundamental role in regulating various biological activities. UCHL1 is a thiol protease that recognizes and hydrolyzes a peptide bond at the C-terminal glycine of ubiquitin. UCHL1 also binds to free monoubiquitin and may prevent its degradation in lysosomes. The homodimer of UCHL1 may have ATP-independent ubiquitin ligase activity.

< 1.0 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method.

Supplied as a 0.2 μm filtered solution of 20mM Tris-HCl, 250mM NaCl, 1mM DTT, 10% Glycerol, pH 7.5.

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.
