Merck, P0067-200UL, Anti-p62/SQSTM1 antibody produced in rabbit

p62 or SQSTM1 (sequestosome 1) is a multifunctional, multi-domain adaptor protein which resides at the autophagosome membranes. The human p62 gene is mapped to human chromosome 5. The protein has 440 amino acids. This protein is conserved across metazoans, but not plant and fungi. It is composed of Phox1 and Bem1p (PB1) domain, a zinc finger (ZZ) domain, two nuclear localization signals, a tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) binding domain, a nuclear export signal, an LC3-interacting region (LIR), a Keap1-interacting region (KIR) and a ubiquitin-associated (UBA) domain. It is predominantly present in cytoplasm, but also shows expression in nucleus, autophagosomes and lysosomes. Anti-p62/SQSTM1 is produced in rabbit using as immunogen a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids of human p62/SQSTM1 (GeneID: 8878), conjugated to KLH. The corresponding sequence is identical in rat and mouse. The antibody is affinity-purified using the immunizing peptide immobilized on agarose.
