INTRODUCTION
YOD1 is a Hydrolase which removes conjugated ubiquitin from proteins and takes part in endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) for misfolded lumenal proteins. YOD1 is a highly conserved deubiquitinating enzyme belonging to the ovarian tumor (otubain) family, whose function has yet to be determined in mammalian cells. YOD1 is a component of a multiprotein complex with p97 as its nucleus, proposing a functional link to a pathway responsible for the dislocation of misfolded proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum. YOD1 variant xpression deprived of its deubiquitinating activity compels a halt on the dislocation reaction, as concluded by the stabilization of various dislocation substrates.
DESCRIPTION
YOD1 Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 371 amino acids (1-348) and having a molecular mass of 40.7kDa.
YOD1 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
