Atg12 Monoclonal Antibody

Code No: M154-3
Datasheet: 
Target: 

Atg12

Background: 

Autophagy is a process of intracellular bulk degradation in which cytoplasmic components including organelles are sequestered within double-membrane vesicles that deliver the contents to the lysosome/vacuole for degradation. Autophagy has two ubiquitin-like conjugation systems, the Atg12 and LC3-II systems. In the Atg12 conjugation system, the Atg12-Atg5-Atg16L forms 800 kDa complex that elongates autophagic isolation membrane. After completion of the formation of the autophagosome, the Atg12-Atg5-Atg16L complex dissociates from the membrane.

Reactivity: 
This antibody reacts with human Atg5-Atg12?complex (55 kDa) on Western blotting. Because almost all Atg12 exist in the form of Atg5-Atg12 complex, it is difficult to detect the monomeric Atg12.
Intended Use: 
For Research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedure.
