Anti-USP16 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein ubiquitin specific peptidase 16. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 823 amino acid residues and a mass of 93.6 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus. Up to 5 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is notably widely expressed in many tissue types. A member of the Peptidase C19 protein family, USP16 is known to be involved with cell division and chromatin organization. Post-translational modifications have been described, including phosphorylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include UBPM, ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 16, deubiquitinating enzyme 16, ubiquitin specific protease 16, ubiquitin thioesterase 16, and UBP-M. USP16 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of USP16 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, ELISA is also a common application.
