Generation and characterization of novel monoclonal antibodies recognizing UBXD1.

UBXD1 is a recently identified adaptor for p97, a highly abundant and conserved member of the AAA family of ATPase that plays pivotal roles in a multitude of cellular processes involving the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Very little is known about the biochemical, cellular, and molecular functions of UBXD1. Here we report the generation of two mouse monoclonal antibodies, 5C3-1 and 2F8-24, that recognize UBXD1 using Western blotting, immunoprecipitation, and immunofluorescence.
