Technical Data
U1000-06P
Ubiquitin (Lys48)
Description:
Polyubiquitin chains linked from the Lys48 of one protein to the C-terminus of the other are the most common ubiquitin linkage. Lys48- linked ubiquitins are abundant in vivo and act as a universal signal for proteins targeted for proteosomal degradation.

Applications:
Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry, Western Blot, Immunoprecipitation, Immunohistochemistry, Peptide Inhibition Assay and Immunocytochemistry. Other applications not tested.

Recommended Dilutions:
Flow Cytometry: 1:700 permeabilized Jurkat cells
Western Blot: 1:1000-1:5000
Immunoprecipitation: 10ul/100ug HeLa cell lysate
Immunohistochemistry: 1:100. Formalin fixed sections were heated in citrate buffer, pH 6.
Peptide Inhibition Assay: 1:1000 dilution with K48-multiubiquitin chains inhibited binding to HeLa cell lysate.
Immunocytochemistry: 1:500
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

Recommended Secondary Antibodies:
I1904-46E: IgG, H&L (HRP) Pab DkxRb
I1904-46K: IgG, H&L, X-Adsorbed (HRP) Pab DkxRb

Positive Control:
Lys48 polyubiquitin chains

Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.

Purified by Protein A affinity chromatography.
Form
Supplied as a liquid in 0.1M Tris-Glycine, pH 7.4, 150mM sodium chloride, 0.05% sodium azide.
Specificity:
Recognizes human ubiquitin linked at Lys48. Does not recognize ubiquitin linked at Lys63 or free ubiquitin. Species Crossreactivity: mouse, rabbit, and rat. Based on sequence homology, broad species crossreactivity is expected.
Intended for research use only. Not for use in human, therapeutic, or diagnostic applications.
