Target
Function
Ubiquitin-like protein that is conjugated to intracellular target proteins after IFN-alpha or IFN-beta
stimulation. Its enzymatic pathway is partially distinct from that of ubiquitin, differing in substrate
specificity and interaction with ligating enzymes. ISG15 conjugation pathway uses a dedicated
E1 enzyme, but seems to converge with the Ub conjugation pathway at the level of a specific E2
enzyme. Targets include STAT1, SERPINA3G/SPI2A, JAK1, MAPK3/ERK1, PLCG1,
EIF2AK2/PKR, MX1/MxA, and RIG-1. Deconjugated by USP18/UBP43. Shows specific
chemotactic activity towards neutrophils and activates them to induce release of eosinophil
chemotactic factors. May serve as a trans-acting binding factor directing the association of
ligated target proteins to intermediate filaments. May also be involved in autocrine, paracrine
and endocrine mechanisms, as in cell-to-cell signaling, possibly partly by inducing IFN-gamma
secretion by monocytes and macrophages. Seems to display antiviral activity during viral
infections.
In response to IFN-tau secreted by the conceptus, may ligate to and regulate proteins involved in
the release of prostaglandin F2-alpha (PGF), and thus prevent lysis of the corpus luteum and
maintain the pregnancy.
Tissue specificity
Detected in lymphoid cells, striated and smooth muscle, several epithelia and neurons.
Sequence similarities
Contains 2 ubiquitin-like domains.
Cellular localization
Cytoplasm. Secreted. UCRP conjugates seem to be noncovalently associated with the
intermediate filaments and distributed in a punctate pattern. Also secreted.

ICC/IF image of ab36765 stained T47D cells.
The cells were 4% formaldehyde fixed (10
min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10%
normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1%
PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells
and block non-specific protein-protein
interactions. The cells were then incubated
with the antibody ab36765 at 5µg/ml
overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody
(pseudo-colored green) was Alexa Fluor®
488 goat anti- rabbit (ab150081) IgG (H+L)
Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence -
preadsorbed, used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h.
Anti-ISG15 antibody (ab36765)
Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label
plasma membranes (pseudo-colored red) at
a 1/200 dilution for 1h at room temperature.
DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei
(pseudo-colored blue) at a concentration of
1.43µM for 1hour at room temperature.
IHC image of ISG15 staining in Human breast
fibroadenoma formalin fixed paraffin
embedded tissue section, performed on a
Leica Bond™ system using the standard
protocol F. The section was pre-treated using
heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium
citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution
1) for 20 mins. The section was then
incubated with ab36765, 1µg/ml, for 15 mins
at room temperature and detected using an
Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed
paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-ISG15 antibody
(ab36765)
HRP conjugated compact polymer system.
DAB was used as the chromogen. The
section was then counterstained with
haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.
For other IHC staining systems (automated
and non-automated) customers should
optimize variable parameters such as antigen
retrieval conditions, primary antibody
concentration and antibody incubation times.
