Product Overview
UBTD2 (ubiquitin domain containing 2), also known as DCUBP (dendritic cell-derived ubiquitin-like protein), DC-UbP or SB72, is a 234 amino acid cytoplasmic and mitochondrial ubiquitin-like (UbL) protein that contains one C-terminal UbL domain. UbL proteins are involved in a variety of cellular processes, including DNA repair, protein sorting, apoptosis, protein degradation, cell division and autophagy. Predominantly expressed in dendritic cells and detected at high levels in tumor cell lines, UBTD2 has been implicated in apoptosis, cellular differentiation and tumorigenesis. The UbL domain of UBTD2 is 55% similar and 28.6% identical to the amino acid sequence of ubiquitin, but it lacks the Gly-Gly motif that is essential for ubiquitination. As its UbL domain does not actively ubiquitinate proteins, UBTD2 is believed to function as a shuttle factor involved in the ubiquitin system.

For IHC-P, heat-induced epitope retrieval (HIER) is typically required. Recommended starting conditions: citrate buffer pH 6.0 (microwave or pressure cooker, ~20 min) for rodent samples; EDTA buffer pH 9.0 for human clinical samples. After retrieval, allow sections to cool gradually before proceeding to blocking. Include a UBTD2-positive tissue control (confirmed by literature or database expression data) and a negative isotype control in every run. Recommended dilution: IHC 1:30-150. Refer to the product datasheet for any target-specific retrieval guidance.
This antibody has been experimentally validated in: Human, Mouse. Cross-reactivity with other species has not been systematically evaluated. If your sample species is not listed, assess immunogen sequence homology to your target species ortholog. The immunogen used is: "Synthetic peptide of human UBTD2" — higher sequence identity between species increases the probability of cross-reactivity, but experimental validation with appropriate controls is necessary before drawing scientific conclusions.
Store at -20℃ Valid for 12 months. Avoid freeze / thaw cycles. Storage Buffer: PBS with 0.05% sodium azide and 50% glycerol, PH7.4. To maintain antibody activity, avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Aliquot into single-use volumes before first freeze. If working with the antibody frequently, keep a working stock at 4°C for up to 4 weeks — add 0.02% sodium azide to the working stock as a bacteriostatic agent if azide is not already present in the buffer. Monitor performance against a validated positive control when transitioning between storage aliquots or lots.
Polyclonal antibodies are produced from immunized animals and may exhibit some degree of lot-to-lot variation in titer, background, and sensitivity. Each production lot is tested for performance against established acceptance criteria. When transitioning to a new lot, run a side-by-side pilot comparison against your previous lot using a validated positive control sample before updating your standard protocol. If significant performance differences are observed, contact our technical support team — titer adjustments may resolve the issue in most cases.
