ATG10 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Autophagy is a process for the bulk degradation of cytosolic compartments by lysosomes. ATG10 is an E2-like enzyme involved in 2 ubiquitin-like modifications essential for autophagosome formation: ATG12 (MIM 609608) -ATG5 (MIM 604261) conjugation and modification of a soluble form of MAP-LC3 (MAP1LC3A; MIM 601242), a homolog of yeast Apg8, to a membrane-bound form (Nemoto et al., 2003 [PubMed 12890687]) .[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008], function:Plays a role in autophagy (By similarity) . ATG12-conjugating enzyme (E2-like enzyme), likely serves as an ATG5-recognition molecule., similarity:Belongs to the ATG10 family., subunit:Interacts with MAP1LC3A. By interacting with MAP1LC3A, it plays a role in the conjugation of ATG12 to ATG5. Also able to directly interact either with ATG5 or ATG7.
