Scientific Data Images for UCH-L1/PGP9.5 Antibody

Western Blot: UCH-L1/PGP9.5 Antibody [NB110-58872]

Western Blot: UCH-L1/PGP9.5 Antibody [NB110-58872]

Western Blot: UCH-L1/PGP9.5 Antibody [NB110-58872] - Analysis of equal amounts of different tissue and cell lysates using chicken pAb to UCHL1, NB110-58872, dilution 1:2,000 in green, and mouse mAb to Actin, dilution 1:1,000, in red: [1] protein standard, [2] rat brain, [3] mouse brain, [4] NIH-3T3, [5] HEK293, [6] HeLa and [7] SH-SY5Y cells. The single band at 24 kDa mark corresponds to UCHL1 protein which is detectable in CNS extracts and lysates of cells with neuronal properties but not in lysates of HeLa, NIH-3T3 and other non-neuronal cells. Actin is detected with apparent molecular weight of 42 kDa and provides an excellent loading control.

Background: UCH-L1/PGP9.5

UCH-L1 (ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase isozyme L1) was the first discovered de-ubiquitinating enzyme which implicates in processing of ubiquitin precursors and also of ubiquitinated proteins. UCH-L1 is a thiol protease that recognizes and hydrolyzes a peptide bond at C-terminal glycine of ubiquitin. It also binds to free monoubiquitin and prevents its degradation in lysosomes. Localized in cytoplasm and ER membrane as lipid-anchor, UCH-L1 expression is restricted to brain, peripheral nerves, endocrine tissues and gonads of both sexes etc. UCH-L1 deletion in mice leads to fatal neurodegenerative disorder known as gracile axonal dystrophy and it is down-regulated in brains from Parkinson as well as Alzheimer disease patients. Expression outside of neuro-endocrine tissues is found in various cancers including B-cell lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and lung cancer. In transgenic mouse model, UCH-L1 has been demonstrated as an oncogene that causes malignancies by boosting AKT signalling. Furthermore, UCH-L1 has been shown to interfere with ubiquitination of RAPTOR which is catalyzed by DDB1-Cul4 E3 ligase complex, leading to loss of mTORC1 integrity accompanied by a concurrent increase in mTORC2, likely due to increased availability of free mTOR.
