UCHL1 Recombinant Protein

Recombinant Proteins

Lyophilized Protein should be stored at -20˚ C or lower for long term storage. Upon reconstitution, working aliquots should be stored at -20˚ C or -71˚ C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase isozyme L1 (UCHL1) , a member of the peptidase C12 family, is also known as neuron cytoplasmic protein 9.5 (PGP 9.5) and ubiquitin thioesterase L1.About 30% of total UCHL1 is associated with membranes in brain. UCHL1 is involved both in the processing of ubiquitin precursors and of ubiquitinated proteins. This enzyme is a thiol protease that recognizes and hydrolyzes a peptide bond at the C-terminal glycine of ubiquitin. Also, UCHL1 can bind to free monoubiquitin and may prevent its degradation in lysosomes. The homodimer of UCHL1 may have ATP-independent ubiquitin ligase activity. Furthermore, the mutations of UCHL1 gene can result in parkinson disease 5.
