Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody targets ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 44 (gene USP44) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC, ICC/IF, flow cytometry and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 81.2 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 81 kDa.
USP44 is a deubiquitinating enzyme that helps maintain the spindle assembly checkpoint. By removing ubiquitin from CDC20, it keeps the mitotic checkpoint complex intact and prevents the APC/C from triggering anaphase before all chromosomes are attached to the spindle. It is studied in mitosis and chromosome stability.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.1–0.25 µg/mL (Mouse, Rat) |
|---|---|
| IHC (paraffin sections) | 0.5–1 µg/mL (Human) |
| Immunocytochemistry / Immunofluorescence | 2 µg/mL (Human) |
| Flow cytometry (fixed cells) | 1–3 µg/1×106 cells (Human) |

Samples with a confirmed band (WB): rat testis tissue, mouse testis tissue.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 50 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.25 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:10000, ECL detection.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): human testicular cancer tissue, human rectal cancer tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Conditions in the example images (IHC): heat-mediated antigen retrieval in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0).
Samples with confirmed staining (ICC/IF): A431 cells.
Samples with a confirmed signal (flow cytometry): A431 cells.
Immunogen
Recombinant human USP44 fragment (Arg211–Ser712), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 44 in the nucleus and cytoplasm. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Expressed in testis. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
