NCBI Description
HERC4 belongs to the HERC family of ubiquitin ligases, all of which contain a HECT domain and at least 1 RCC1 (MIM 179710)-like domain (RLD). The 350-amino acid HECT domain is predicted to catalyze the formation of a thioester with ubiquitin before transferring it to a substrate, and the RLD is predicted to act as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for small G proteins (Hochrainer et al., 2005 [PubMed 15676274]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
Uniprot Description
HERC4: Probable E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase involved in either protein trafficking or in the distribution of cellular structures. Required for spermatozoon maturation and fertility, and for the removal of the cytoplasmic droplet of the spermatozoon. E3 ubiquitin-protein ligases accept ubiquitin from an E2 ubiquitin- conjugating enzyme in the form of a thioester and then directly transfer it to targeted substrates. 6 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
Protein type: EC 6.3.2.-; EC 6.3.2.19; Ligase; Ubiquitin conjugating system; Ubiquitin ligase
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 10q21.3
Cellular Component: cytoplasm; cytosol; fibrillar center
Biological Process: cell differentiation; protein ubiquitination; spermatogenesis
Product Notes
The HERC4 herc4 (Catalog #
AAA6420238) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The HERC4 (Probable E3 Ubiquitin-protein Ligase HERC4, HECT Domain and RCC1-like Domain-containing Protein 4) (APC) reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's HERC4 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). WB: 1:500-1:2000 Applications are based on unconjugated antibody. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the HERC4 herc4 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process.
It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of
"HERC4, Polyclonal Antibody" 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.
