Anti-YOD1 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein YOD1 deubiquitinase. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 348 amino acid residues and a mass of 38.3 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cytoplasm. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. YOD1 is a known hydrolase that can remove conjugated ubiquitin from proteins and participates in endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) for misfolded lumenal proteins. Synonyms for this target antigen include DUBA-8, HIN-7, HIV-1-induced protease 7, OTU domain containing 2, OTU domain-containing protein 2, and ubiquitin thioesterase OTU1. YOD1 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some YOD1 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, ELISA is also a common application.
