Immunogen
A synthetic peptide from human microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 gamma (MAP1LC3C, MAP1A/MAP1B LC3 C) conjugated to an immunogenic carrier protein has been used as the immunogen.
Accession
Also known
Microtubule-associated proteins 1A/1B light chain 3C, MAP1LC3C, MAP1A/MAP1B LC3 C, MAP1A/1B light chain 3 C, MAP1 light chain 3-like protein 3, Autophagy-related protein LC3 C, Autophagy-related ubiquitin-like modifier LC3C
Target
Autophagy is the process by which endogenous proteins and damaged organelles are destroyed intracellularly. Autophagy is postulated to be essential for cell homeostasis and cell remodeling during differentiation, metamorphosis, non-apoptotic cell death, and aging. Reduced levels of autophagy have been described in some malignant tumors, and a role for autophagy in controlling the unregulated cell growth linked to cancer has been proposed.
FUNCTION: Probably involved in formation of autophagosomal vacuoles (autophagosomes).
SUBUNIT: 3 different light chains, LC1, LC2 and LC3, can associate with MAP1A and MAP1B proteins.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. Intracytoplasmic membrane; Lipid-anchor. Cytoplasmic vesicle, autophagosome membrane; Lipid-anchor. Note: LC3-II binds to the autophagic membranes.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Most abundant in placenta, lung and ovary.
The precursor molecule is cleaved by APG4B/ATG4B to form the cytosolic form, LC3-I. This is activated by APG7L/ATG7, transferred to ATG3 and conjugated to phospholipid to form the membrane-bound form, LC3-II.
Storage
Maintain the lyophilised/reconstituted antibodies frozen at -20°C for long term storage and refrigerated at 2-8°C for a shorter term. When reconstituting, glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid freeze and thaw cycles.
Expiry Date
12 months after reconstitution
Shipping
This item will be shipped to you at ambient temperature in a lyophilised form.
