UVRAG antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
UVRAG antibody was raised against an 18 amino acid peptide near the carboxy terminus of human UVRAG. The immunogen is located within amino acids 490 - 540 of UVRAG.
UVRAG antibody can be used for detection of UVRAG by Western blot at 1 - 2 μ,g/mL. Antibody can also be used for Immunohistochemistry starting at 5 μ,g/mL. For immunofluorescence start at 20 μ,g/mL.
Antibody validated: Western Blot in mouse samples, Immunohistochemistry in human samples and Immunofluorescence in human samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.

The class III type phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3KC3) / Vps34 regulates vacuolar trafficking as well as autophagy (1). UVRAG (UV radiation resistance-associated gene) is associated with the Beclin-1/PI3KC3 complex and promotes PI3KC3 enzymatic activity and autophagy, while suppressing proliferation (2). UVRAG is highly expressed in brain, lung, kidney and liver and contains one C2 domain, which is involved in calcium-dependent phospholipid binding. Beclin-1 binding to UVRAG promotes both autophagosome maturation and endocytic trafficking (3). UVRAG is also a potential tumor suppressor protein with frameshift mutations observed in colon and gastric carcinomas (4,5).
