Confirmed by immunohistochemical/ western blot analysis of normal and diseased human brain.
In western blot the antibody recognizes 4 major bands of 130, 62, 45 and 22 kDa in human brain homogenate. The antibody may also recognize some proteins containing SQSTM1 domains from other species as 80, 62 and 47 kDa proteins are identified in rat sympathetic ganglia. Preincubation of the antibody with the immunizing peptide abolishes all reactivity in both human brain homogenate and rat sympathitic ganglia.
Note: Not all species have been tested for usefulness with this product. Only those species listed have been tested. We cannot make any guarantees about additional reactivities which may or may not occur.

SQSTM1/p62 is an adapter protein which binds ubiquitin and regulates signaling cascades through ubiquitination. It may regulate the activation of NFKB1 by TNF-alpha, nerve growth factor (NGF) and interleukin-1. More recently, a role for SQSTM1/p62 in macroautophagic removal of intracellular protein aggregates has also been proposed. Studies involving the cellular depletion of SQSTM1/p62 have indicated a need for its association with LC3 and the aggregate proteins in order to facilitate correct formation of the autophagosome.
