LC3 A/B rabbit pAb

Function:Probably involved in formation of autophagosomal vacuoles (autophagosomes) ., PTM:The precursor molecule is cleaved by APG4B/ATG4B to form the cytosolic form, LC3-I. This is activated by APG7L/ATG7, transferred to ATG3 and conjugated to phospholipid to form the membrane-bound form, LC3-II., similarity:Belongs to the MAP1 LC3 family., subcellular location:LC3-II binds to the autophagic membranes., subunit:3 different light chains, LC1, LC2 and LC3, can associate with MAP1A and MAP1B proteins., tissue specificity:Most abundant in heart, brain, liver, skeletal muscle and testis but absent in thymus and peripheral blood leukocytes.
