Cross-reactivity may occur with other LC3 isoforms. Stronger reactivity is observed with the type II form of LC3B. Weaker reactivity is observed with rodent LC3B.\nSpecies Reactivity: Human\n\u003cb\u003eSource \/ Purification\u003c\/b\u003e\nMonoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the amino terminus of LC3B protein.\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\nATG8F; Autophagy-related protein LC3 B; Autophagy-related ubiquitin-like modifier LC3 B; LC3B; MAP1 light chain 3-like protein 2; MAP1A\/1BLC3; MAP1A\/MAP1B LC3 B; MAP1A\/MAP1B light chain 3 B; MAP1ALC3; MAP1LC3B; MAP1LC3B-a; microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3 beta; Microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 beta; microtubule-associated proteins 1A\/1B light chain 3; Microtubule-associated proteins 1A\/1B light chain 3B; MLP3B\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nSource\/Isotype: Rabbit IgG","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46800552788137,"sku":"8899S","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-8899s","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
