Gene Information

General description

Autophagy is the process by which cells recycle cytoplasm and dispose of excess or defective organelles. This process is suggested to be involved development, differentiation, growth regulation and tissue remodeling in multicellular organisms. The human MAP1LC3 protein is homologous with the rat Map1LC3 and with yeast APG8. These proteins are likely to be involved in the formation of autophagosomal vacuoles (autophagosomes).

Specificity

MAP1LC3 A [Microtubule-associated proteins 1A/1B light chain 3A, MAP1A/1B LC3 A, MAP1 LC3, LC3 A].

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide corresponding to a region within the N-terminus of human MAP1LC3 A protein.

Application

Anti-MAP1LC3 A Antibody is an antibody against MAP1LC3 A for use in WB, IC, IH.

Odontoblasts are long-lived post-mitotic cells in the dental pulp, whose function is to form and maintain dentin. The survival mechanisms that preserve the viability of terminally differentiated odontoblasts during the life of a healthy tooth have not been described. In

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 Map1lc3 were
