NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of the family of de-ubiquitinating enzymes, which belongs to the peptidase C19 superfamily. The encoded protein is a ubiquitin-specific protease which is required for TNF-alpha (tumor necrosis factor alpha) -induced NF-kB (nuclear factor kB) signaling. This protein deubiquitinates polyubiquitinated target proteins such as fatty acid synthase, murine double minute 2 (MDM2), MDM4/MDMX and cyclin D1. MDM2 and MDM4 are negative regulators of the p53 tumor suppressor and cyclin D1 is required for cell cycle G1/S transition. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]
Uniprot Description
USP2: Hydrolase that deubiquitinates polyubiquitinated target proteins such as MDM2, MDM4 and CCND1. Isoform 1 and isoform 4 possess both ubiquitin-specific peptidase and isopeptidase activities. Deubiquitinates MDM2 without reversing MDM2-mediated p53/TP53 ubiquitination and thus indirectly promotes p53/TP53 degradation and limits p53 activity. Has no deubiquitinase activity against p53/TP53. Prevents MDM2-mediated degradation of MDM4. Plays a role in the G1/S cell-cycle progression in normal and cancer cells. Plays a role in the regulation of myogenic differentiation of embryonic muscle cells. Homooligomer. Found in trimeric complex with MDM2 and MDM4 and UPB2. Interacts with CCND1; the interaction is direct and promotes its stabilization by antagonizing ubiquitin-dependent degradation. Interacts (via N-terminus and C- terminus) with MDM2. Interacts with MDM4. Down-regulated by cisplatin. Expressed in mesangial cells of the kidney and in different types of glomerulonephritides. Cleavage is inhibited by ubiquitin in a dosage- dependent manner. Cleavage is blocked by ubiquitin aldehyde. Belongs to the peptidase C19 family. USP2 subfamily. 4 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The Human USP2 usp2 (Catalog #AAA7237094) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA7237094 ELISA Kit recognizes Human USP2. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Ubiquitin carboxyl terminal hydrolase 2 (USP2), ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
