Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence in the middle region of human NEDD8, identical to the related mouse and rat sequences.
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 12 kDa; calculated MW: 9072 MW
- Reactivity: Human,Mouse,Rat
- Applications: Flow Cytometry, IF, IHC, ICC, WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
NEDD8; NEDD8. NEDD8 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NEDD8 gene. Human NEDD8 shares 60% amino acid sequence identity to ubiquitin. The most substrates of NEDD8 modification are the Cullin subunits of Cullin-based E3 ubiquitin ligases, which are active only when neddylated. Their NEDDylation is critical for the recruitment of E2 to the ligase complex, thus facilitating ubiquitin conjugation. NEDD8 modification has therefore been implicated in cell cycle progression and cytoskeletal regulation. Functional note: Ubiquitin-like protein which plays an important role in cell cycle control and embryogenesis. Covalent attachment to its substrates requires prior activation by the E1 complex UBE1C- APPBP1 and linkage to the E2 enzyme UBE2M. Attachment of NEDD8 to cullins activates their associated E3 ubiquitin ligase activity, and thus promotes polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of cyclins and other regulatory proteins. . Reported localization: Nucleus . Mainly nuclear. Expression/tissue context: Highly expressed in heart, skeletal muscle, spleen, thymus, prostate, testis, ovary, colon and leukocytes. .
Research relevance and current trends
- Proteasome / Ubiquitin: Researchers commonly examine how NEDD8 relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
- Proteolysis/Ubiquitin: Researchers commonly examine how NEDD8 relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
- Ub-Like Proteins: Researchers commonly examine how NEDD8 relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
Common research applications
- Western blotting: compare relative NEDD8 levels across conditions; band patterns may reflect isoforms and processing.
- IHC/IHC-F: assess spatial distribution of NEDD8 across tissue regions and cell types using matched controls.
- IF/ICC: evaluate subcellular localization and co-localization patterns; signal can depend on fixation/permeabilization and epitope accessibility.
- Flow cytometry: quantify target-positive populations and shifts in expression; gating strategy and background staining controls are essential.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Specificity notes: No cross reactivity with other proteins.
- Cross-reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins
- Isoforms and PTMs: Apparent size and signal patterns can differ across splice isoforms, proteolytic processing, and post-translational modifications.
- Controls: Include an isotype control (as relevant), no-primary control for imaging, and orthogonal validation such as KD/KO samples when available.
