Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.\n\u003cb\u003eBackground\u003c\/b\u003e\nProtein ubiquitination and deubiquitination are reversible processes catalyzed by ubiquitinating enzymes (UBEs) and deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) respectively (1,2). DUBs are categorized into five subfamilies-USP, UCH, OTU, MJD, and JAMM. Ubiquitin-specific protease 9, X-linked (USP9X) possesses a well-conserved catalytic domain with cysteine peptidase activity, which allows for cleavage of ubiquitin and polyubiquitin conjugates. USP9X is the mammalian homolog of the ( ) gene, which is essential for normal eye development and viability of the early fly embryo (3,4). While USP9X expression is also critical for normal mammalian development (5-7), many of its substrates are only beginning to be elucidated. There is mounting evidence that USP9X functions in the formation of epithelial cell-cell contacts through deubiquitination-dependent stabilization of molecules involved in maintaining the integrity of both adherens and tight junctions. Indeed, USP9X has been found to associate with AF-6, the β-catenin-E-cadherin complex, and EFA6 (8-11). Research studies have also demonstrated that USP9X is an integral component of the TGF-β\/BMP signaling cascade by opposing TRIM33-mediated monoubiquitination of SMAD4 (12). USP9X is overexpressed in a variety of human cancers and contributes to enhanced cell survival, in part, through its ability to deubiquitinate and stabilize the Mcl-1 oncoprotein (13). There is some evidence, however, that suggests the role of USP9X in tumorigenesis is context dependent. Research studies have implicated USP9X in a tumor suppressor role during the early stages of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and in an oncogenic role during advanced stages of PDAC (14,15).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nDeubiquitinating enzyme FAF-X; DFFRX; Drosophila fat facets related, X-linked; FAF; FAM; Fat facets in mammals; fat facets protein related, X-linked; Fat facets protein-related, X-linked; hFAM; MRX99; MRXS99F; Probable ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase FAF-X; ubiquitin specific peptidase 9 X-linked; ubiquitin specific peptidase 9, X-linked; ubiquitin specific protease 9, X chromosome (fat facets-like Drosophila); Ubiquitin thioesterase FAF-X; ubiquitin thiolesterase FAF-X; ubiquitin-specific processing protease FAF-X; Ubiquitin-specific protease 9, X chromosome; Ubiquitin-specific-processing protease FAF-X; USP9; USP9X\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H M R Mk Dg\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 270\nSOURCE: Rabbit","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46800996171945,"sku":"5751T","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-5751t","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
