Immunogen
A synthetic peptide from aa region 20-80 of human ATG4B conjugated to an immunogenic carrier protein has been used as the antigen. The antigen is homologous in mouse.
Accession
Also known
AUTL1, Autophagin-1, AUTL1, cysteine protease ATG4B, AUT-like 1 cysteine endopeptidase, Autophagy-related protein 4 homolog B
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: Cysteine protease required for autophagy, which cleaves the C-terminal part of either MAP1LC3, GABARAPL2 or GABARAP, allowing the liberation of form I. A subpopulation of form I is subsequently converted to a smaller form (form II). Form II, with a revealed C-terminal glycine, is considered to be the phosphatidylethanolamine (PE)-conjugated form, and has the capacity for the binding to autophagosomes.
ENZYME REGULATION: Inhibited by N-ethylmaleimide
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm
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
