Additional Information

Alternative name: microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3 gamma (MAP1LC3C, MAP1A/MAP1B LC3 C)

Swiss-Prot: Q9BXW4

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.

Format: Lyophilized

Isotype: IgG  (Matching secondary antibodies)

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. 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. Also known as: 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.

Specificity: Appears to be specific for MAP1LC3C.

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.
