GABA(A) receptor ssocited protein like 2 (GABARAPL2, ATG8) antibody

Antigen: GABA(A) receptor ssocited protein like 2 (GABARAPL2, ATG8)

Clonality: Polyclonal

Host: Sheep

Application: Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Western Blotting (WB)

Catalog no.: ABIN350325

Additional Information

UniProt: P60520

Immunogen: A synthetic peptide from human GABA(A) receptor-associated protein-like 2 (GABARAPL2, ATG8, GEF2, GEF-2, GATE16, GATE-16, FLC3A) conjugated to an immunogenic carrier protein has been used as the immunogen. The antigen is homologous in rat and mouse.

Format: Lyophilized

Isotype: IgG

Description: 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 ofautophagy have been described in some malignant tumors, and a role forautophagy in controlling the unregulated cell growth linked to cancer has been proposed. Involved in intra-Golgi traffic. Modulates intra-Golgi transport through coupling between NSF activity and SNAREs activation. It first stimulates the ATPase activity of NSF which in turn stimulates the association withGOSR1. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Golgi apparatus. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Ubiquitous. Expressed at high levels in the brain, heart, prostate, ovary, spleen and skeletal muscle. Expressed at very low levels in lung, thymus and small intestine. Also known as: FLC3A, GABARAPL2, ATG8, GEF2, GEF-2, GATE16, GATE-16, Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor-associated protein-like 2, GABA(A) receptor-associated protein-like 2, Ganglioside expression factor 2, General protein transport factor p16, MAP1 light chain 3-related protein.

Specificity: Appears to be specific for GABARAPL2.

Application Details

Application Notes: IHC, WB. Use at a concentration of 10-50 µg/ml. The optimal working concentration should be determined by the end user. Not yet tested in other applications.

Purity: IgG

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.

Research Area: Autophagy
