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

Human Ubquitin Conjugating Enzyme 9 (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. Ubc9 can mediate the conjugation of SUMO-1 to a variety of proteins including RanGAP1, IkBa, and PML without the requirement of an E3 ligase. Ubc9 is essential for nuclear architecture and chromosome segregation. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
