Designing a Western blot for BAP1? The guide has the expected band size, antibodies backed by real blot images, the controls to run alongside, and protocols taken from published papers.
Open the BAP1 Western Blot GuideFacts about Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase BAP1.
Does not deubiquitinate monoubiquitinated histone H2B. Acts as a regulator of cell growth by mediating deubiquitination of HCFC1 N-terminal and C-terminal chains, with some specificity toward'Lys-48'- linked polyubiquitin chains in contrast to'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitin chains.

Highly expressed in testis, placenta and ovary. Expressed in breast.
Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Mainly nuclear. Binds to chromatin. Localizes to the cytoplasm when monoubiquitinated by the E2/E3 hybrid ubiquitin-protein ligase UBE2O (PubMed:24703950).
