Synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the amino terminus of the human Ube2j1 protein.
Ube2j1 and Ube2j2 are homologs of the yeast ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme UBC6, which catalyzes the covalent attachment of ubiquitin to other proteins. These proteins constitute a distinct family of ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes sharing a conserved non-canonical active site sequence and a C-terminal transmembrane domain. By analogy with yeast UBC6, Ube2j1 and Ube2j2 are localized to the endoplasmic reticulum and seem to function in the selective degradation of misfolded membrane proteins and in general mediation of the stress response. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot and Immunoprecipitation. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: ELISA: 1:1,000-1:5,000 Western Blot: 1:200-1:2,000 Immunoprecipitation: 1-2ug Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and store at -20C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
