USP32 polyclonal antibody

Ubiquitin-specific protease (USP6) is a 1,406 amino acid protein that is very hydrophilic and has 2 charge clusters that are characteristic of nucleic acidbinding regions. The USP6 gene is oncogenic and originated from the chimeric fusion of two genes: USP32 and TBC1D3. USP32 is an ancient, highly conserved gene, whereas the TBC1D3 gene came from a relatively recent segmental duplication. This duplication is absent in most other mammals and shows rapid amplification and propagation throughout the primate lineage. The chimeric USP6, however, only exists in the hominoid lineage of primates, so it may have contributed to hominoid speciation. USP6 is testis-specific, suggesting an implication in the emergence of reproductive barriers.
