Anti-UFSP2 Antibody
Our Anti-UFSP2 chicken polyclonal primary antibody from Aves Labs is produced in-house. It is KO validated, detects human, mouse, and rat UFSP2, and is affinity-purified IgY. Works in WB, ICC, IHC.
Immunofluorescent staining for detection of UFSP2 in HeLa cells using Aves Labs chicken anti-UFSP2 polyclonal antibody (Cat No. UFSP2-0100). The cells were fixed with 3% paraformaldehyde, washed with PBS, and blocked/permeabilized with 5% non-fat milk powder in PBST. The anti-UFSP2 antibody (Cat. UFSP2-0100) was incubated with the sample at a dilution of 1:100 (2 ug/mL) at 4C overnight. After washing with PBST, the cells were stained using goat anti-chicken IgY CF488 secondary antibody (Cat No. 80-1001-488) (green). Actin filaments were stained using Phalloidin (red). The cells were mounted with Antibodies Incorporated Fluoroshield with DAPI mounting medium (Cat No. AR-6501). DAPI nuclear stain (blue) shows cell nuclei.

Product Details
UFSP2
The UFSP2 protein (Ufm1-specific protease 2) is a critical regulator of 'ufmylation,' a post-translational modification where the ubiquitin-like modifier Ufm1 is attached to target proteins. Identified in the mid-2000s, UFSP2 serves as the primary de-UFMylase, the enzyme responsible for removing Ufm1 from substrates, while working alongside UFSP1 to facilitate Ufm1 maturation. Its clinical relevance is significant: mutations in the UFSP2 gene are the established cause of Beukes familial hip dysplasia (an autosomal dominant skeletal disorder) and have been increasingly linked to recessive forms of early-onset epileptic encephalopathy and developmental delay. By regulating the ufmylation pathway, UFSP2 helps cells manage endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and maintain protein homeostasis, making it an important subject in research for treating genetic, neurodevelopmental, and skeletal pathologies.

Store at 4°C in the dark. Under these conditions, the antibodies should have a shelf life of at least twelve months, provided they remain sterile. For longer term storage, aliquot and freeze to avoid freeze-thaw of the antibody.
Liquid
Eggs from hens hyperimmunized with target were used to prepare an IgY fraction which was then subjected to antigen-specific affinity purification.
Phosphate-buffered (10 mM) isotonic (0.9%, w/v) saline (“PBS," pH 7.2) with sodium azide (0.02%, w/v) added as a preservative.

Entrez Gene Summary: This gene encodes a highly conserved cysteine protease. The protein cleaves two C-terminal residues from ubiquitin-fold modifier 1, a ubiquitin-like post-translational modifier protein. Activation of ubiquitin-fold modifier 1 by the encoded protein exposes a C-terminal glycine residue that allows interaction with other proteins and transfer to its target protein. An allelic variant of this gene has been associated with Beukes hip dysplasia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
