Gene ID 115201
Other Names
ATG4A; APG4A; AUTL2; Cysteine protease ATG4A; AUT-like 2 cysteine endopeptidase; Autophagin-2; Autophagy-related cysteine endopeptidase 2; Autophagy-related protein 4 homolog A
Target/Specificity
This ATG4A antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 7~37 amino acids from the N-terminal region of human APG4A.
Dilution
WB~~1:100~500
IHC~~1:50~100
Format
Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is prepared by Saturated Ammonium Sulfate (SAS) precipitation followed by dialysis against PBS.
Storage
Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Precautions
ATG4A Antibody is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.

ATG4A Antibody - Protein Information

Name ATG4A
Synonyms APG4A, AUTL2
Function
Cysteine protease required for autophagy, which cleaves the C-terminal part of either MAP1LC3, GABARAPL2 or GABARAP, allowing the liberation of form I. A subpopulation of form I is subsequently converted to a smaller form (form II). Form II, with a revealed C-terminal glycine, is considered to be the phosphatidylethanolamine (PE)-conjugated form, and has the capacity for the binding to autophagosomes. Preferred substrate is GABARAPL2 followed by MAP1LC3A and GABARAP
Cellular Location
Cytoplasm (Probable).
Tissue Location
Widely expressed, at a low level, and the highest expression is observed in skeletal muscle and brain. Also detected in fetal liver

ATG4A Antibody - Application data

  • The anti-APG4A Pab (Cat. #AP1808a) is used in Western blot to detect APG4A in mouse kidney (left) and mouse heart (right) tissue lysates

  • Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded human cancer tissue reacted with the primary antibody, which was peroxidase-conjugated to the secondary antibody, followed by AEC staining. This data demonstrates the use of this antibody for immunohistochemistry; clinical relevance has not been evaluated. BC = breast carcinoma; HC = hepatocarcinoma.

BACKGROUND

Macroautophagy is the major inducible pathway for the general turnover of cytoplasmic constituents in eukaryotic cells, it is also responsible for the degradation of active cytoplasmic enzymes and organelles during nutrient starvation. Macroautophagy involves the formation of double-membrane bound autophagosomes which enclose the cytoplasmic constituent targeted for degradation in a membrane bound structure, which then fuse with the lysosome (or vacuole) releasing a single-membrane bound autophagic bodies which are then degraded within the lysosome (or vacuole). APG4A is a cysteine protease required for autophagy, which cleaves the C-terminal part of either MAP1LC3, GABARAPL2 or GABARAP, allowing the liberation of form I. A subpopulation of form I is subsequently converted to a smaller form (form II). Form II, with a revealed C-terminal glycine, is considered to be the phosphatidylethanolamine (PE)-conjugated form, and has the capacity for the binding to autophagosomes. Preferred substrate is GABARAPL2 followed by MAP1LC3A and GABARAP.
