Itch Antibody

Itch is an HECT-type E3 ubiquitin ligase that promotes the ubiquitination of Notch. The drosophila ortholog of Itch, suppressor of deltex (SU(DX)), was originally identified as a negative regulator of the Notch pathway. Deltex is a transmembrane ligand for Notch and also has a mammalian homolog, DTX1.The human ortholog of Itch and (SU(DX)) is called AIP4 (atrophin-1-interacting protein) and was first described as a protein that interacts with the product of the gene responsible for dentatorubral and pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA). In mice, Itch was identified as a mutant locus in 18H mice that resulted in a fatal disease characterized by inflammation of the skin which resulted in constant itching and scarring.

Alternative names for Itch Antibody include Itch antibody, itchy homolog E3 ubiquitin protein antibody, AIF4 antibody, AIP4 antibody, atrophin-1 interacting protein 4 antibody, NAPP1 antibody, NFE2-associated polypeptide 1 antibody.
