Anti-UBC9, NT (SUMO-conjugating Enzyme UBC9, SUMO-protein Ligase, Ubiquitin-conjugating Enzyme E2 I,

UBE2I (Ubc9) is a member of the E2 family and is specific for the conjugation of SUMO to a variety of target proteins. SUMO conjugation to target proteins is mediated by a different, but analogous, pathway to ubiquitinylation. This E2 is unusual in that it interacts directly with protein substrates that are modified by sumoylation, and may play a role in substrate recognition. UBE2I can mediate the conjugation of SUMO-1 to a variety of proteins including RanGAP1, Iκ,Bα,, and PML without the requirement of an E3 ligase. UBE2I is essential for nuclear architecture and chromosome segregation. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot, and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: ELISA: 1:1,000, Western Blot: 1:100-1:500, Immunohistochemistry: 1:50-1:100, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
