Atg7 Antibody

2631:

Western Blotting

Atg7 Antibody detects endogenous levels of total Atg7 protein.

Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to the amino terminus of Atg7. Antibodies were purified by peptide affinity chromatography.

Western blot analysis of extracts from THP-1 and BaF3 cells and rat spleen using Atg7 Antibody.

Autophagy 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 has also been associated with a number of physiological processes including development, differentiation, neurodegeneration, infection, and cancer (3). The molecular machinery of autophagy was largely discovered in yeast and referred to as a ut ophag y-related (Atg) genes. Formation of the autophagosome involves a ubiquitin-like conjugation system in which Atg12 is covalently bound to Atg5 and targeted to autophagosome vesicles (4-6). This conjugation reaction is mediated by the ubiquitin E1-like enzyme Atg7 and the E2-like enzyme Atg10 (7,8).
