USP18 (Ubl Carboxyl-terminal Hydrolase 18, 43kD ISG15-specific Protease, hUBP43, ISG15-specific-processing Protease, Ubl Thiolesterase 18, ISG43)

Ubiquitinating enzymes (UBEs) catalyze protein ubiquitination, a reversible process countered by deubiquitinating enzyme (DUB) action. Five DUB subfamilies are recognized, including the USP, UCH, OTU, MJD and JAMM enzymes. USP18 (also known as UBP43) is a deubiquitinase best known for catalyzing the removal of ISG15, an interferon-regulated ubibiquitin-like protein, from conjugated proteins. Removal of ISG15 from target proteins by the USP18 peptidase maintains the critical cellular balance of ISG15-conjugated proteins important for normal development and brain function. Following induction by IFN or LPS, USP18 binds the INF receptor subunit IFNAR2 and inhibits signal transduction through the JAK-STAT pathway. USP18 regulation of IFN signaling inhibits IFN-mediated apoptosis and does not necessarily rely on USP18 peptidase activity. As the therapeutic use of recombinant IFN can lead to refractory IFN signaling and a less effective response, the combination of IFN treatment and regulation of USP18 expression may produce a more positive outcome.\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in Immunofluorescence, ELISA, Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.\n\nRecommended Dilution:\nELISA: 1:10,000-1:50,000\nWestern Blot: 1:500-1:2000\nImmunohistochemistry (Formalin fixed paraffin embedded): 5ug/ml\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nStorage and Stability:\nMay be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
