One of the proteins critical to this process is Beclin-1, the mammalian orthologue of the yeast autophagy protein Apg6\/Vps30 (2). Beclin-1 can complement defects in yeast autophagy caused by loss of Apg6 and can also stimulate autophagy when overexpressed in mammalian cells (3). Mammalian Beclin-1 was originally isolated in a yeast two-hybrid screen for Bcl-2 interacting proteins and has been shown to interact with Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL, but not with Bax or Bak (4). While Beclin-1 is generally ubiquitously expressed, research studies have shown it is monoallelically deleted in 40-75% of sporadic human breast and ovarian cancers (5). Beclin-1 is localized within cytoplasmic structures including the mitochondria, although overexpression of Beclin-1 reveals some nuclear staining and CRM1-dependent nuclear export (6). Investigators have demonstrated that Beclin-1 mice die early in embryogenesis and Beclin-1 mice have a high incidence of spontaneous tumors. Stem cells from the null mice demonstrate an altered autophagic response, although responses to apoptosis appeared normal (7). Researchers have also found that overexpression of Beclin-1 in virally infected neurons resulted in significant protection against Sindbis virus-induced disease and neuronal apoptosis (4). ULK1 phosphorylates Beclin-1 at Ser30 to induce autophagy in response to amino acid starvation, mTORC1 inhibition, and hypoxia (8).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nATG6; ATG6 autophagy related 6 homolog; beclin 1; beclin 1 (coiled-coil, moesin-like BCL2 interacting protein); beclin 1 (coiled-coil, moesin-like BCL2-interacting protein); beclin 1, autophagy related; Beclin-1; Beclin-1-C 35 kDa; Beclin-1-C 37 kDa; beclin1; BECN1; Coiled-coil myosin-like BCL2-interacting protein; GT197; Protein GT197; testis secretory sperm-binding protein Li 215e; VPS30\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H M R\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 60\nSource\/Isotype: Rabbit IgG","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46799435399337,"sku":"35955T","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-35955t","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
