USP26 Antibody

1. findings demonstrate TGF-beta enhances expression of USP26 and reinforces SMAD7 stability by limiting the ubiquitin-mediated turnover of SMAD7; clinically, loss of USP26 correlates with high TGF-beta activity and confers poor prognosis in glioblastoma; data identify USP26 as a novel negative regulator of the TGF-beta pathway and suggest that loss of USP26 expression may be an important factor in glioblastoma pathogenesis PMID: 28381482
2. Data show that USP26 interacts with PRC1 components chromobox (CBX)-containing proteins CBX4 and CBX6. PMID: 28839133
3. A novel USP26 variant p.R344W is associated with nonobstructive azoospermia probably through affecting androgen receptor function. PMID: 27089915
4. The interaction between USP26 and Mdm2, and the subsequent deubiquitination of Mdm2, serves, most probably to regulate Mdm2. Future therapeutic modalities that interfere with the association between USP26 and Mdm2 will be used to destabilize the ligase in malignancies where it is upregulated. PMID: 27810359
5. identification in a normozoospermic man of a nonsense mutation (c.882C>A) which causes the production of a truncated protein, suggests a marginal role of USP26 in male spermatogenesis PMID: 27726449
6. Evidence from both enzymatic and meta-analyses does not support a direct association between USP26 variants and male infertility PMID: 25755145
7. There is an association of alteration in USP26 with male infertility, especially in azoospermia and in the Asian population. [Meta-Analysis] PMID: 24875820
8. there is a significant difference in USP26 gene expression between the obstructive azoospermia, complete maturation arrest samples and Sertoli Cell-Only Syndrome samples PMID: 23779098
9. results indicated the variation of USP26 was not directly associated with human sperm count but suggested it might be a potential role in sperm motility PMID: 21147082
10. The nucleotide polymorphisms of the Usp26 gene might be closely related with idiopathic male infertility, and exert a negative effect on the testis function. PMID: 22568204
11. USP26 assembles with androgen receptors (AR)and other cofactors in subnuclear foci and serves to counteract hormone-induced AR ubiquitination, thereby contributing to the regulation of AR transcriptional activity. PMID: 20501646
12. Alterations in the USP26 gene may be involved in male infertility or might increase the risk of male infertility. These patients showed 370-371insACA, 494T>C and 1423C>T causing T123-124ins, L165S and H475Y, respectively PMID: 15562280
13. The USP26 gene may be of importance in male reproduction. Mutations in this gene may be associated with male infertility, and may negatively affect testicular function. PMID: 15970005
14. USP26 haplotype is present in significant frequencies in sub-Saharan African and South and East Asian populations, including in individuals with known fertility. This indicates that the allele is not associated with infertility. PMID: 16888075
15. Sequencing can confirm the presence of the three changes of the USP26 gene in patients of Caucasian origin with cryptozoospermia or oligozoospermia. PMID: 17121659
16. The USP26 gene might be of importance in male reproduction. Mutations in this gene might be associated with male infertility, and might negatively affect testicular function. PMID: 17968467
17. Mutations of the USP26 gene do not appear to be a common cause of idiopathic azoospermia or severe oligozoospermia. PMID: 18377898
18. Mutation within the USP26 gene is associated with risk of inguinal hernia leading to impaired male fertility. PMID: 18927127
19. Some USP26 alleles and haplotypes are associated with spermatogenic defect in the Han nationality in Taiwan PMID: 18958354
