Gene Information

General description

LC3A is composed of a heavy chain and multiple light-chain subunits. The molecular machinery required for autophagy is highly conserved in all eukaryotes as seen by the high degree of conservation of proteins involved in the formation of the autophagosome membranes. Recently, both yeast Apg8p and its rat homologue LC3-II were identified as essential constituents of autophagosome membrane as a processed form. In addition, both the yeast and human proteins exist in two modified forms produced by a series of post-translational modifications including a critical C-terminal cleavage after a conserved Gly residue, and the smaller processed form is associated with the autophagosome membranes Results revealed different regulation of the three human isoforms of LC3-II and implicate that the three isoforms may have different physiological functions. Two forms of LC3A, called LC3-I and -II, were produced post-translationally in various cells. LC3-I is cytosolic, whereas LC3-II is membrane bound.

Immunogen

Linear peptide corresponding to human LC3.

Application

Anti-LC3 Antibody is an antibody against LC3 for use in Western Blotting.
Research Category

Western Blot Analysis: A 1;1,000 dilution from a representative lot detected LC3 in 10 µg of mouse embryonic fibroblast tissue lysate and MCF-7 cell lysate.

Quality

Evaluated by Western Blot in NIH/3T3 cell lysate.

Western Blot Analysis: A 1;1,000 dilution of this antibody detected LC3 in 10 µg of NIH/3T3 cell lysate.

Target description

~16 kDa observed. LC3 can occur as a doublet around ~15 kDa, indicating the presence of both LC3-I & LC3-II. An uncharacterized band may appear at ~39 and ~55 kDa in some lysates.

Linkage
