PSMC2 Antibody / Proteasome 19S S7 / MSS1

Overview

PSMC2 antibody supplied as a purified reagent for WB in Human samples. This product is a monoclonal (mouse origin) antibody (host: Mouse; isotype: IgG1, kappa) intended for research use only.

Key elements and design rationale

• Antibody identity: Monoclonal (mouse origin); host Mouse; isotype IgG1, kappa; clone 1851CT193.4.40.
• Format and purification: format: Purified; purity: Protein G purified.
• Species reactivity (reported): Human.
• Applications (listed): WB.
• Immunogen / epitope context: Recombinant human PSMC2 protein was used as the immunogen for the PSMC2 antibody..

These attributes help you align the antibody with the biological question (target state, sample type, and readout) while keeping interpretation grounded in appropriate controls.

Biological background

PSMC2 is the intended antigen for this primary antibody. Reported biological context includes: The 26S protease is involved in the ATP-dependent degradation of ubiquitinated proteins. The regulatory (or ATPase) complex confers ATP dependency and substrate specificity to the 26S complex.

Research relevance and current trends

• Signal-flow and turnover studies: researchers pair immunodetection with perturbations that modulate enzymatic activity or proteostasis to understand regulation, stability, and feedback.
• Spatial and single-cell approaches: imaging-based and cytometry workflows increasingly quantify heterogeneity and relocalization rather than only bulk abundance.
• Interaction-centric biology: IP-based enrichment and proteomics are widely used to define complexes, binding partners, and context-specific interactomes.

Common research applications

• Western blot (WB): compare relative abundance/isoform patterns across conditions and sample types; band shifts may reflect processing or post-translational modification.

Across these readouts, differences in signal intensity, localization, or complex enrichment are typically interpreted alongside sample-matched controls and independent evidence to distinguish regulation from technical variation.

Notes for experimental interpretation

• Isoforms, cleavage products, or post-translational modifications can alter apparent molecular weight and subcellular distribution; interpret bands and staining patterns in the context of expected biology and sample preparation.
• Species differences and epitope conservation may affect binding; use matched positive controls and orthogonal evidence when comparing across organisms.
• Control concepts: include appropriate isotype and secondary-only controls (for imaging), and consider genetic perturbations (knockout/knockdown/overexpression) or independent antibodies targeting distinct epitopes to strengthen conclusions.

Epitope context is defined by the immunogen description; when available, align this with known domains, PTM sites, or family homology to anticipate potential cross-reactivity patterns. As a monoclonal antibody, binding is driven by a single epitope, which can support consistent recognition but may be sensitive to epitope masking by PTMs or conformational changes.

Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
