Description
Product Characteristics:
The proteasome is a multicatalytic proteinase complex with a highly ordered ring shaped 20S core structure. The core structure 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. 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.
Synonyms: 20S Proteasome _3, C10 II, HC10 II, proteasome prosome, macropain subunit, beta type 3, Proteasome beta 3 subunit, Proteasome chain 13, proteasome component C10 II, Proteasome theta chain, PSMB3.
Target Information: The proteasome is a multicatalytic proteinase complex with a highly ordered ring-shaped 20S core structure. The core structure 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. 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. This gene encodes a member of the proteasome B-type family, also known as the T1B family, that is a 20S core beta subunit. Pseudogenes have been identified on chromosomes 2 and 12.
