Gene Information

human ... UCHL1(7345)

General description

The ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCH-L1) gene is mapped to human chromosome 4p13. The protein localized in the cytosol and nucleus. UCH-L1 protein is primarily expressed in neuroendocrine tissues, neurons and in testis/ovary. Rabbit polyclonal anti-UCHL1 antibody recognizes ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase isozyme L1.

Immunogen

Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase isozyme L1 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.
Anti-UCHL1 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in:
  • immunohistochemistry at 1:100 dilution
  • immunofluorescence
  • proximity ligation assay
  • indirect immunolabeling at 1:1000 dilution

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase-L1 (UCHL1) is a deubiquitinating enzyme (DUB) that hydrolyzes C-terminal ubiquitin esters and amides, and peptide−ubiquitin amides to ubiquitin monomers in- vitro. In addition to DUB activity, it also possesses E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activity. UCHL1 is involved in the regulation of the ubiquitin-dependent proteolytic system. UCH-L1 plays a vital role in cancer development and progression by upstream activation of protein kinase B (Akt). Mutation in the UCHL1 gene is associated with the development of Parkinson′s disease (PD).

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
