UBE2K (Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme)

The covalent attachment of ubiquitin to cellular proteins is catalyzed by members of a family of ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes, including UBC1 (E2). These enzymes participate in a variety of cellular processes, including selective protein degradation, DNA repair, cell cycle control, and sporulation (1). In this mechanism, the ATP-coupled activation and subsequent ligation of ubiquitin are catalyzed by separate enzymes (E1 and E3, respectively) functionally linked by ubiquitin carrier protein UBC1 (E2). Carrier protein has been proposed to constitute a family of isozymes having molecular masses of 14, 17, 20, 24, and 32kDa whose role is to shuttle activated polypeptide in the form of a high-energy thiol ester intermediate to the carboxyl terminus of ubiquitin (2). The order of ubiquitin transfer is from E1 to E2, from E2 to E6-AP, and finally from E6-AP to a substrate (3).\n\nApplications: \nSuitable for use in Western Blot, Immunoprecipitation, Immunocytochemistry. Other applications not tested.\n\nRecommended Dilution:\nWestern Blot: 1:500\nICC: 1:100 \nImmunoprecipitation: 1:20\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nStorage and Stability:\nMay be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 degrees C. 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. \n\nManufactured incorporating RabMAb(R) technology under Epitomics US patents, No 5,675,063 and 7,429,487, owned by Abcam.
