| Description : |
This gene encodes a member of the C19 peptidase family, also known as family 2 of ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolases. The encoded protein cleaves ubiquitin from ubiquitinated proteins for recycling in intracellular protein degradation. The encoded protein is also able to release NEDD8, a ubiquitin-like protein, from NEDD8-conjugated proteins. This gene has been referred to as USP16 and USP23 but is now known as USP21. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. |
| Form : |
Solution. Supplied as a 0.22 μm filtered solution of 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH7.5, 200 mM NaCl, 20% glycerol.
|
| Bio-activity : |
The fundamental role of USP21 is specific removal of ubiquitin from substrates. USP21 catalyses the ubiquitin from the substrate Ub-Rho110 to release fluorophores. Rho110 will release 535 nM emission light under the excitation condition of 485 nM. The signal of which can be quickly and reliably captured using a microplate reader. |
