General description

Produced from human cDNA, expressed in E. coli. Ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolases (UCHs) are a family of cysteine hydrolases that catalyze the hydrolysis of amides, esters and thioesters of the C-terminus of ubiquitin. UCH-L3 is a member of the lower molecular weight group of UCHs involved in the hydrolysis of small C-terminal derivatives of ubiquitin that form non-specifically during the process of protein ubiquitinylation.
Product Source: Recombinant human UCH-L3 expressed in E.coli.

Application

From human cDNA, expressed in E. coli. Ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolases are a family of cysteine hydrolases that catalyze the hydrolysis of amides, esters & thioesters of the C-terminus of ubiquitin.

Storage and Stability

Store at -70°C for up to 12 months from date of receipt. As supplied, the enzyme is stable on ice for several hours. Activity is stable up to 6 freeze/thaw cycles (snap freezing in a dry/ice ethanol bath or liquid nitrogen).

Ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolases (UCHs) comprise a family of small ubiquitin-specific proteases of uncertain function. Although no cellular substrates have been identified for UCHs, their highly tissue-specific expression patterns and the association of UCH-L1 mutations with human disease strongly suggest a
