Product Description

This antibody does not react with guinea pig. This antibody is suitable for use on paraffin-embedded tissue sections, with a recommend fixation in 95% ethanol/5% acetic acid for 2-3 hours prior to paraffin-embedding. Specimens which have not been fixed in acetic acid/alcohol will likely require pretreatment using the microwave-citrate buffer method. Mouse anti Human Protein Gene Product 9.5 antibody, clone 31A3 recognizes protein gene product 9.5 (PGP9.5), a ubiquitin hydrolase which is widely expressed in neuronal tissues and represents 1-2% of total soluble brain proteins. PGP9.5 (Protein gene product 9.5, UCH-L1, PARK5) is a neuron specific protein, structurally and immunologically distinct from neuron specific enolase. PGP9.5 has a molecular weight of 27 kDa and was first identified by high resolution two dimensional PAGE. PGP9.5 is a member of ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase family 1 (peptidase family C12) with a ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase domain. PGP9.5 is well known for having ubiquitin hydrolase and ligase activities that hydrolyzes small C-terminal adducts of ubiquitin to generate ubiquitin monomers. PGP9.5 is present in neurons and nerve fibers at all levels of the central and peripheral nervous system, in neuroendocrine cells, in segme
