CoraLite®594-conjugated PSMD9 Monoclonal antibody

PSMD9 is a ubiquitous protein of eukaryotic cells and is a chaperon of the 26S proteasome complex, which degrades ubiquitinated proteins in eukaryotic cells and contributes to the degradation of intracellular proteins into antigenic peptides for antigen presentation by MHC class I cells. The 26S mammalian base sub-complex involves three distinct modules which have ATPase subunits distinctly associated to three chaperones, one of which is PSMD9 regulating the modules assembly. The PSMD9 ubiquitous regulatory role within the proteasome implies its potential pleiotropic effects within different physio-pathological systems. PSMD9 is known to form a stable subcomplex with PSMC3 and PSMC6, two of the AAA-ATPases, assisting in the assembly of the 20S and 19S particles to form the holo complex.
