This antibody recognises protein gene product 9.5 (PGP9.5) also known as ubiquitin C terminal hydrolase 1 (UCH-L1). UCH-L1 is a thiol protease that recognises and hydrolyses a peptide bond at the C-terminal glycine of ubiquitin. This protein is closely related to UCH-L3 and both are thought to recycle ubiquitin to maintain pools of monomeric ubiquitin necessary for proteolysis. UCH-L1 is expressed in neurons and cells of the diffuse neuroendocrine system and their tumours.UCH-L1 and UCH-L3 have been shown to have separate and overlapping functions in the maintanence of neurons of the gracile tract, nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) and area postrema.
