REACH authorisation
Abcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.
It is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.
Lysate preparation:
Our lysates are made using RIPA buffer to which we add a protease inhibitor cocktail and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (ratio: 300:100:10).
This means that the protein of interest is denatured.
If you require a native form of the protein please use the live cell version. Please refer to our lysis protocol for further details on how our lysates are prepared.
User storage instructions:
Lyophilizate may be stored at 4°C. After reconstitution, store at -20°C for short-term storage or -80°C for long-term storage.

The OTUB1 protein also known as OTU domain-containing ubiquitin aldehyde-binding protein 1 plays an important role in the removal of ubiquitin from proteins. This process is important for regulating protein stability and function within the cell. OTUB1 has a mass of approximately 32 kDa and is expressed ubiquitously across various tissues indicating its essential nature in cellular functions.
Biological function summary
OTUB1 functions as a deubiquitinating enzyme that cleaves ubiquitin from substrates influencing various cellular processes. It acts independently or as part of larger protein complexes. By controlling protein degradation pathways OTUB1 impacts protein turnover and cellular homeostasis. Interactions with other proteins allow OTUB1 to exert influence on different signaling pathways and cellular stress responses.
Pathways
OTUB1 holds a significant position in the regulation of the ubiquitin-proteasome system and DNA damage repair pathway. It closely interacts with proteins such as UBE2N affecting the DNA damage response. Additionally OTUB1 regulates processes through modulating pathways like NF-kB by interacting with and stabilizing specific protein factors involved.
OTUB1’s function connects it to various pathological states like cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Aberrant expression or mutations in OTUB1 can lead to disruptions in cell cycle regulation and apoptosis contributing to oncogenesis. In the context of neurodegenerative diseases OTUB1 is related to tau stabilization with proteins such as HSP90 playing a role in the same regulatory mechanisms highlighting its relevance in these disorders.
