General description

USP2 (Ubiquitin specific peptidase 2) is a 69kDa protein belonging to the de-ubiquitinating enzyme family. It is highly expressed in the kidney tissue and responsible for the regulation of cell growth and differentiation.

Immunogen

Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 2 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

USP2 (Ubiquitin specific peptidase 2) is primarily associated in the regulation of Mdm2/p53 pathway. It directly interacts and deubiquitinates the murine double minute 2 (MDM2) without affecting p53 ubiquitination. Overexpressed USP2 triggers the Mdm2 storage in cells, which further promotes p53 degradation. Due to the tumor suppressive property, it may have clinical importance in cancer therapy. It is also involved in the negative regulation of the NF-κB (nuclear factor κB) activation pathway. Studies show that the upregulated USP2 plays a vital role in the mesangial cell proliferation during glomerulonephritides.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

The transcription factor NF-κB plays critical roles in many biological processes, especially immunity. The signaling to NF-κB activation is subtly regulated to avoid harmful immune effects. In this report, we identified ubiquitin-specific protease 2 isoform a (USP2a) as a novel

It has previously been shown that ubiquitin-specific protease 2a (USP2a) is a regulator of the Mdm2/p53 pathway. USP2a binds to Mdm2 and can deubiquitinate Mdm2 without reversing Mdm2-mediated p53 ubiquitination. Overexpression of USP2a causes accumulation of Mdm2 and promotes p53
