Function
Ubiquitin-like protein which plays a key role in the innate immune response to viral infection either via its conjugation to a target protein (ISGylation) or via its action as a free or unconjugated protein (PubMed:27564865). ISGylation involves a cascade of enzymatic reactions involving E1, E2, and E3 enzymes which catalyze the conjugation of ISG15 to a lysine residue in the target protein (PubMed:33727702). Its target proteins include IFIT1, MX1/MxA, PPM1B, UBE2L6, UBA7, CHMP5, CHMP2A, CHMP4B and CHMP6. Isgylation of the viral sensor IFIH1/MDA5 promotes IFIH1/MDA5 oligomerization and triggers activation of innate immunity against a range of viruses, including coronaviruses, flaviviruses and picornaviruses (PubMed:33727702). Can also isgylate: EIF2AK2/PKR which results in its activation, RIGI which inhibits its function in antiviral signaling response, EIF4E2 which enhances its cap structure-binding activity and translation-inhibition activity, UBE2N and UBE2E1 which negatively regulates their activity, IRF3 which inhibits its ubiquitination and degradation and FLNB which prevents its ability to interact with the upstream activators of the JNK cascade thereby inhibiting IFNA-induced JNK signaling. Exhibits antiviral activity towards both DNA and RNA viruses, including influenza A, HIV-1 and Ebola virus. Restricts HIV-1 and ebola virus via disruption of viral budding. Inhibits the ubiquitination of HIV-1 Gag and host TSG101 and disrupts their interaction, thereby preventing assembly and release of virions from infected cells. Inhibits Ebola virus budding mediated by the VP40 protein by disrupting ubiquitin ligase activity of NEDD4 and its ability to ubiquitinate VP40. ISGylates influenza A virus NS1 protein which causes a loss of function of the protein and the inhibition of virus replication. The secreted form of ISG15 can: induce natural killer cell proliferation, act as a chemotactic factor for neutrophils and act as a IFN-gamma-inducing cytokine playing an essential role in antimycobacterial immunity. The secreted form acts through the integrin ITGAL/ITGB2 receptor to initiate activation of SRC family tyrosine kinases including LYN, HCK and FGR which leads to secretion of IFNG and IL10; the interaction is mediated by ITGAL (PubMed:29100055).

- Meso Scale Discovery® (MSD®)
- Bead-based assays
- AlphaLISA®/AlphaScreen®
- DELFIA® immunoassays
- Simoa® and Single Molecule Counting (SMC™) immunoassays
- Multiplex
Our antibody pairs are supplied in a carrier-free format that is conjugation-ready:
- Buffer free of BSA, sodium azide, and glycerol for higher conjugation efficiency.
- Concentration of ~1 mg/ml as measured by the protein A280 method.
We can label antibodies for you: get in touch today to discuss how we can help accelerate your assay development with custom conjugation services.
Pairs are screened in biological samples, including plasma and serum, to ensure specificity in complex samples.
Please note:
The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization in sandwich ELISA. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type.
The range provided for this antibody pair is based on initial sandwich ELISA validation data using recombinant protein. Performance and range of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay, including standard protein selection.
We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibodies in other assays.

- Activity summary
ISG15 also known as G1P2 is a ubiquitin-like protein with a molecular weight of approximately 17 kDa. This protein gets expressed highly in response to interferon stimulation particularly in white blood cells such as macrophages and monocytes. It consists of two ubiquitin-like domains contributing to its functionality. ISG15 performs its mechanical role by adding itself to target proteins in a process known as ISGylation. This process resembles ubiquitination and serves to modify the functions of targeted proteins.
- Biological function summary
ISG15 plays an important role in the immune response to viral infections. It acts as an antiviral agent by inhibiting viral replication. It interacts with and becomes a part of protein complexes modifying cellular proteins involved in immune regulation. ISG15 influences the stability function and localization of these target proteins enhancing antiviral defenses and potentially modulating immune signaling pathways.
- Pathways
ISG15 operates within the interferon signaling pathway and the antiviral response pathway. In the interferon signaling pathway ISG15 interacts with proteins like UBE1L and UBE2L6 which act together for effective ISGylation of targets. In the antiviral response pathway ISG15 boosts the effects of proteins like IRF3 and STAT1 enhancing antiviral responses. These interactions allow ISG15 to effectively contribute to halting viral propagation.
- Associated diseases and disorders
ISG15 connects to autoimmune diseases and certain viral infections. In autoimmune conditions like systemic lupus erythematosus abnormal ISG15 activity can contribute to disease pathology. ISG15 also interacts with proteins such as USP18 which regulates the expression of type I interferons to influence the disease processes. Furthermore ISG15 involvement in viral infections such as hepatitis C highlights its value in antiviral defenses. Understanding these interactions can support the development of therapies targeting ISG15 for managing immune-related conditions.
