{"product_id":"cst-76004s","title":"CST,  76004S, LC3A Matched Antibody Pair","description":"Matched Antibody Pair for studying LC3A in the research area.\n\n\u003cb\u003eProduct Usage Information\u003c\/b\u003e\nMatched Antibody Pairs consist of capture and detection antibodies that bind to non-overlapping epitopes. For specific identification of the capture and detection antibodies in this pair, please refer to the data figure caption. Optimal dilutions\/concentrations should be determined by the end user.\n\u003cb\u003eFormulation\u003c\/b\u003e\nSupplied in 1X PBS (10 mM Na 2 HPO 4 , 3 mM KCl, 2 mM KH 2 PO 4 , and 140 mM NaCl (pH 7.8)). BSA and Azide Free.\n\u003cb\u003eStorage\u003c\/b\u003e\nStore at -20ºC. This product will freeze at -20ºC so it is recommended to aliquot into single-use vials to avoid multiple freeze\/thaw cycles . A slight precipitate may be present and can be dissolved by gently vortexing. This will not interfere with antibody performance.\n\u003cb\u003eBackground\u003c\/b\u003e\nAutophagy is a catabolic process for the autophagosomic-lysosomal degradation of bulk cytoplasmic contents (1,2). Autophagy is generally activated by conditions of nutrient deprivation, but it has also been associated with a number of physiological processes including development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, infection, and cancer (3). Autophagy marker Light Chain 3 (LC3) was originally identified as a subunit of microtubule-associated proteins 1A and 1B (termed MAP1LC3) (4) and subsequently found to contain similarity to the yeast protein Apg8\/Aut7\/Cvt5 critical for autophagy (5). Three human LC3 isoforms (LC3A, LC3B, and LC3C) undergo posttranslational modifications during autophagy (6-9). Cleavage of LC3 at the carboxy terminus immediately following synthesis yields the cytosolic LC3-I form. During autophagy, LC3-I is converted to LC3-II through lipidation by a ubiquitin-like system involving Atg7 and Atg3 that allows for LC3 to become associated with autophagic vesicles (6-10). The presence of LC3 in autophagosomes and the conversion of LC3 to the lower migrating form, LC3-II, have been used as indicators of autophagy (11).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nATG8E; Autophagy-related protein LC3 A; Autophagy-related ubiquitin-like modifier LC3 A; LC3; LC3A; MAP1 light chain 3-like protein 1; MAP1A\/1B light chain 3 A; MAP1A\/MAP1B LC3 A; MAP1A\/MAP1B light chain 3 A; MAP1ALC3; MAP1BLC3; MAP1LC3; MAP1LC3A; microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3 alpha; Microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 alpha; microtubule-associated proteins 1A\/1B light chain 3; Microtubule-associated proteins 1A\/1B light chain 3A; MLP3A\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H M","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46800321118377,"sku":"76004S","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-76004s","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
