Recombinant Full Length Human Ubiquitin Protein, Vinyl Sulfone Labeled

• Cat.No.: Ubiquitin-16HFL
• Product Overview: This product consists of a full-length human, mature ubiquitin polypeptide (amino acids 1-76), expressed in E. coli with a c-terminal warhead (Vinyl Sulfone).

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: E.coli
• Protein Length: 1-76aa
• Description: Ubiquitin is a small (8.5 kDa) regulatory protein that has been found in almost all tissues of eukaryotic organisms. The addition of ubiquitin to a substrate protein is called ubiquitination or ubiquitylation. Ubiquitination can affect proteins in many ways; it can signal for their degradation via the proteasome, alter their cellular location, affect their activity, and promote or prevent protein interactions. Removal of ubiquitin from a substrate protein occurs via deconjugating enzymes, of which there are nearly 100 known enzymes with various linkage specificities. Ubiquitin-Vinyl Sulfone is a potent, irreversible, and specific inhibitor of deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) based on a C-terminal electrophilic Vinyl Sulfone group. It targets three of the four major DUB families: UCH (Ubiquitin c-terminal hydrolases), USP (Ubiquitin Specific Proteases), OTU (Ovarian Tumor Proteases), and MJD (Machado-Josephin domain proteases) while JAMM metalloproteases are not inhibited.
