General description

Monoclonal Anti-UVRAG (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the hybridoma UVRAG-11 produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with a synthetic peptide corresponding to a fragment of human UVRAG.
Ultraviolet irradiation resistance-associated gene (UVRAG) is a crucial autophagic tumor suppressor, encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 11q13.5. The encoded protein is characterized with four functional domains, such as proline-rich domain, a lipid-binding C2 domain, a Beclin1-binding coiled-coil domain (CCD) and a C-terminal domain involved in centrosome integrity and DNA damage repair.

Application

Monoclonal Anti-UVRAG antibody produced in mouse has been used in immunoprecipitation.
Monoclonal Anti-UVRAG antibody produced in mouse has been used in western blotting and immunohistochemistry.

Biochem/physiol Actions

UVRAG is positive regulator of the Beclin 1- class III phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI(3)KC3) complex. The tumor suppressor Beclin 1 forms a complex with PI(3)KC3, promoting autophagosome formation. UVRAG interacts with Beclin 1 through their coiled-coil domains and induces autophagy resultin in suppression of proliferation and tumorigenicity of human colon cancer cells. UVRAG is a tumor suppressor candidate.
Ultraviolet irradiation resistance-associated gene (UVRAG) is implicated in the regulation of intracellular membrane trafficking, including autophagy and chromosomal stability. The encoded protein regulates apoptosis by suppressing the BCL2-associated X protein (Bax) activity. Mutation in the gene has been observed in various types of human cancers, including microsatellite unstable colon carcinomas.

Target description

Anti-UVRAG, UV radiation resistance associated gene, complements the ultraviolet sensitivity of xeroderma pigmentosum group C cells and encodes a protein with a C2 domain. The protein activates the Beclin1-PI(3)KC3 complex, promoting autophagy and suppres

Autophagy-related factors are implicated in metabolic adaptation and cancer metastasis. However, the role of autophagy factors in cancer progression and their effect in treatment response remain largely elusive. Recent studies have shown that UVRAG, a key autophagic tumour suppressor, is
