Application

Rabbit Anti-PSMD4 (AB1) antibody can be used for western blot assays at a concentration of 0.5µg/ml.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The 26S proteasome is a multicatalytic proteinase complex with a highly ordered structure composed of 2 complexes, a 20S core and a 19S regulator. The 20S core is composed of 4 rings of 28 non-identical subunits; 2 rings are composed of 7 alpha subunits and 2 rings are composed of 7 beta subunits. The 19S regulator is composed of a base, which contains 6 ATPase subunits and 2 non-ATPase subunits, and a lid, which contains up to 10 non-ATPase subunits. Proteasomes are distributed throughout eukaryotic cells at a high concentration and cleave peptides in an ATP/ubiquitin-dependent process in a non-lysosomal pathway. An essential function of a modified proteasome, the immunoproteasome, is the processing of class I MHC peptides. PSMD4 encodes one of the non-ATPase subunits of the 19S regulator lid.

General description

PSDM4 is the non-ATPase subunit of the proteasomal 19S regulatory complex that is involved in proteasome-substrate identification. Porcine fertilization studies have reported that PSMD4 regulates sperm-zona pellucida (ZP) penetration. Furthermore, pharmacogenomic analyses have revealed that high expression of PSDM4 is linked to adverse clinical outcomes in myeloma patients undergoing bortezomib therapy.Rabbit Anti-PSMD4 (AB1) antibody recognizes human, rat, rabbit, bovine, mouse, and pig PSMD4.
