Host: Rabbit

Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat

Homology: N/A

Immunogen: ITCH antibody was raised against a 15 amino acid peptide near the amino terminus of human ITCH .
The immunogen is located within amino acids 40 - 90 of ITCH.

Research Area: Stem Cell

Tested Application: E, WB

Application: ITCH antibody can be used for detection of ITCH by Western blot at 1 - 2 μg/ml.
Antibody validated: Western Blot in mouse samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.

Specificiy: ITCH antibody is human, mouse and rat reactive. At least three isoforms of ITCH are known to exist; this antibody only recognizes the two longest isoforms. This antibody is predicted to not cross-react with other members of the Nedd4 protein family.

BACKGROUND: The Itchy E3 ubiquitin protein ligase (ITCH) is a member of the Nedd4 family of HECT domain E3 ubiquitin ligases (1) . HECT domain E3 ubiquitin ligases transfer ubiquitin from E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes to protein substrates, thus targeting specific proteins for lysosomal degradation. ITCH plays a role in multiple cellular processes including erythroid and lymphoid cell differentiation and the regulation of immune responses (2) . In B cells, ITCH is thought to associate with latent membrane protein 2A (LMP2A) of Epstein-Barr virus, specifically down-regulating its activity in B cell signaling (3) . Mutations in this gene are a cause of syndromic multisystem autoimmune disease (4) .
