Details

Target of this antibody:
LC3
Alternative names of antibody target:
MAP1LC3C; Microtubule-associated proteins 1A/1B light chain 3C; Autophagy-related protein LC3 C; Autophagy-related ubiquitin-like modifier LC3 C; MAP1 light chain 3-like protein 3; Microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 gamma
Background information:
Autophagy is an alternative process of proteasomal degradation for some long-lived proteins or organelles. Alterations in the autophagic-lysosomal compartment have been linked to neuronal death in many neurodegenerative disorders as well as in transmissible neuronal pathologies (prion diseases). Genetic studies in yeast have shown that Autophagy-defective Gene-8 (Atg-8) represents a specific marker for autophagy. Among the four families of mammalian Atg8-related proteins only LC3 (Microtubule-associated Protein1 Light Chain 3) is expressed at sufficient high levels and efficiently recruited to autophagic vesicles in cells and tissues. During autophagy the cytoplasmic form, LC3-I is processed and recruited to autophagosomes, where LC3-II is generated by site specific proteolysis near to the C-terminus. Autophagic vacuoles have been also reported frequently in cardiomyopathies or muscle cells exposed to different experimental settings.
