Rabbit anti-Human USP48 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q86UV5

Target Species

Human

Target Name

USP48

Target Full Name

Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 48

Target Function

Recognizes and hydrolyzes the peptide bond at the C-terminal Gly of ubiquitin. Involved in the processing of poly-ubiquitin precursors as well as that of ubiquitinated proteins. May be involved in the regulation of NF-kappa-B activation by TNF receptor superfamily via its interactions with RELA and TRAF2. May also play a regulatory role at postsynaptic sites.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Nucleus.

Target Protein Families

Peptidase C19 family

Target Tissue Specificity

Widely expressed.

Target Background

This gene encodes a protein containing domains that associate it with the peptidase family C19, also known as family 2 of ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolases. Family members function as deubiquitinating enzymes, recognizing and hydrolyzing the peptide bond at the C-terminal glycine of ubiquitin. Enzymes in peptidase family C19 are involved in the processing of poly-ubiquitin precursors as well as that of ubiquitinated proteins. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized.
