Target Information

PGP9.5 (Protein gene product 9.5, also known as UCH-L1 or PARK5) is a neuron-specific protein, distinct from neuron-specific enolase. It has a molecular weight of 27 kDa and belongs to the ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase family 1 (peptidase family C12).
PGP9.5 exhibits both ubiquitin hydrolase and ligase activities, hydrolyzing small C-terminal adducts of ubiquitin to generate monomers. It is widely present in neurons, nerve fibers, neuroendocrine cells, renal tubules, spermatogonia, Leydig cells, and ovarian tissues.
Altered expression of PGP9.5 is associated with several diseases: overexpression with non-small cell lung cancer and decreased expression with Huntington and Alzheimer diseases.
It serves as a useful neuronal marker in studies of neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s disease.
