Background
UBA6 (UBE1L2, MOP-4) is a novel E1 enzyme specific for ubiquitin and belongs to the ubiquitin-activating E1 family. It is a part of the cascade to attach ubiquitin (Ub) covalently to substrate proteins. UBA6 activates ubiquitin by first adenylating its carboxy-terminal glycine residue with ATP and then linking this residue to the side chain of a cysteine residue in E1, yielding an ubiquitin-E1 thioester and free AMP. Its isoforms influence spermatogenesis and male fertility. UBA6 is highly expressed in human monocytes.



Antigen
A portion of amino acids 300-350 of human UBA6 was used as the immunogen for this antibody.

Application Notes
The amino acid sequence used as immunogen for this antibody is 100%
homologous in human (isoform CRA_a and CRA_b) and chimpanzee, 88% homologous in
horse and cow, 82% homologous in rat and 76% homologous in mouse.
