Full name:

OTU deubiquitinase, ubiquitin aldehyde binding 2

Synonyms:

OTB2; OTU2; C14orf137

Swissprot:

Q96DC9

Gene Accession:

BC009615

Purity:

>85%, as determined by Coomassie blue stained SDS-PAGE

Expression system:

Escherichia coli

Tags:

His tag C-Terminus, GST tag N-Terminus

Background:

This gene encodes one of several deubiquitylating enzymes. Ubiquitin modification of proteins is needed for their stability and function; to reverse the process, deubiquityling enzymes remove ubiquitin. This protein contains an OTU domain and binds Ubal (ubiquitin aldehyde); an active cysteine protease site is present in the OTU domain.
