		Technical Data
P9076-20B	PSMB10 (Proteasome Subunit beta Type-10, Proteasome Subunit beta-2i, Proteasome MECl-1, Macropain Subunit MECl-1, Multicatalytic Endopeptidase Complex Subunit MECl-1, Low Molecular Mass Protein 10, LMP10, MECL1)

Description:
The proteasome is a multicatalytic proteinase complex with a highly ordered ring-shaped 20S core structure. The core structure is composed of 4 rings of 28 non-identical subunits; 2 rings are composed of 7 alpha subunits and 2 rings are composed of 7 beta subunits. Proteasomes are distributed throughout eukaryotic cells at a high concentration and cleave peptides in an ATP/ubiquitin-dependent process in a non-lysosomal pathway. An essential function of a modified proteasome, the immunoproteasome, is the processing of class I MHC peptides. This gene encodes a member of the proteasome B-type family, also known as the T1B family, that is a 20S core beta subunit. Proteolytic processing is required to generate a mature subunit. Expression of this gene is induced by gamma interferon, and this gene product replaces catalytic subunit 2 (proteasome beta 7 subunit) in the immunoproteasome.

Applications:
Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
