W H M R Endogenous 135 Rabbit

Applications Key:  W=Western Blotting
Reactivity Key:  H=Human  M=Mouse  R=Rat
Species cross-reactivity is determined by Western blot.

Specificity / Sensitivity

HAUSP Antibody detects endogenous levels of total HAUSP protein.

Source / Purification

Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing rabbits with a synthetic peptide (KLH-coupled) corresponding to residues surrounding Asp438 of human HAUSP. Antibodies are purified by peptide affinity chromatography.

Background

Ubiquitinating enzymes (UBEs) catalyze protein ubiquitination, a reversible process countered by deubiquitinating enzyme (DUB) action (1,2). Five DUB subfamilies are recognized, including the USP, UCH, OTU, MJD and JAMM enzymes. HAUSP (USP7 or herpesvirus-associated ubiquitin-specific protease) is an important deubiquitinase belonging to USP subfamily. A key HAUSP function HAUSP is to bind and deubiquinate the p53 transcription factor and an associated regulator protein Mdm2, thereby stabilizing both proteins (3,4). In addition to regulating essential components of the p53 pathway, HAUSP also modifies other ubiquitinylated proteins such as members of the FoxO family of forkhead transcription factors and the mitotic stress checkpoint protein CHFR (5,6).
