Recombinant Human UCHL1

• Cat.No.: UCHL1-1520H
• Product Overview: Recombinant UCHL1 protein was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques (1-223 aa).

Specification

• Cat. No.: UCHL1-1520H
• Description: PGP9.5/UCHL1 is a member of a gene family whose products hydrolyze small C-terminal adducts of ubiquitin to generate the ubiquitin monomer. UCHL1 is a component of the ubiquitin system, which has a fundamental role in regulating various biological activities. UCHL1 gene encodes two opposing enzymatic activities that affect alpha-synuclein degradation and Parkinson"s disease susceptibility.
