AHP1143 detects an epitope within the internal domain of human ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase L3 (UCH-L3), a 26kD thiol protease that hydrolyses a peptide bond in ubiquitin and nedd8. UCH-L3 and the closely related UCH-L1 are thought to recycle ubiquitin to maintain pools of monomeric ubiquitin necessary for proteolysis.
UCH-L1 and UCH-L3 have been shown to have separate and overlapping functions in the maintanence of neurons of the gracile tract, nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) and area postrema (AP). A recent paper has shown that UCH-L3 defective mice have a learning deficit compared to wild type littermates, and significantly increased working memory errors.

This product requires antigen retrieval using heat treatment prior to staining of paraffin sections.Sodium citrate buffer pH 6.0 is recommended for this purpose.
Where this product has not been tested for use in a particular technique this does not necessarily exclude its use in such procedures. Suggested working dilutions are given as a guide only. It is recommended that the user titrates the product for use in their own system using appropriate negative/positive controls.
Storage
Store at +4oC or at -20oC if preferred.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended.
This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
Shelf Life
18 months from date of despatch.
Antiserum Preparation
Antisera to UCH-L3 were raised by repeated immunisations of rabbit with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG prepared by affinity chromatography.
