Immunogen
A synthetic peptide from human ATG4D (autophagin-4, ATG4D, APG4D, AUTL4) conjugated to an immunogenic carrier protein has been used as the antigen.
Accession
Also known
Cysteine protease ATG4D, Autophagy-related protein 4 homolog D
Autophagin-4, Autophagy-related cysteine endopeptidase 4, AUT-like 4 cysteine endopeptidase, APG4D, AUTL4, ATG4DThis gene encodes a member of the autophagin protein family.
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. The encoded protein is also designated as a member of the C-54 family of cysteine proteases.
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
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Mainly expressed in skeletal muscle and, to a lower extent, in testis.
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
