Product Summary for Human LC3A DuoSet ELISA
This DuoSet ELISA Development kit contains the basic components required for the development of sandwich ELISAs to measure natural and recombinant human Light Chain 3 (LC3). The suggested diluent is suitable for the analysis of most cell culture supernate, serum, and plasma samples. Diluents for complex matrices, such as serum and plasma, should be evaluated prior to use in this DuoSet.

Background: LC3A
The Autophagin protein family is involved in autophagy, the biological process in which endogenous protein and damaged organelles are degraded. ATG3 (autophagy-related protein 3; also known as APG3-like and PC3-96) is a ubiquitous 45 kDa member of the ATG3 family of proteins. It functions as an E2-like enzyme during the initial stages of autophagosome formation by catalyzing the transfer of ATG7-bound ATG8 (also known as LC3, GATE16 and GABA-RAP in mammals) to phosphatidylethanolamine, critical for autophagy.
ATG4A (Autophagy related protein 4 homolog A; also known as Autophagin 2) is a 50 kDa cytosolic cysteine protease mostly found in skeletal muscle and brain. ATG10 (autophagy-related protein 10; also known as APG10-like) is a ubiquitous 28 kDa member of the ATG10 family of proteins. It serves as an E2-like enzyme during the initial stages of autophagosome formation by catalyzing the transfer of ATG12 to ATG5. This ATG5:ATG12 heterodimer subsequently associates noncovalently with an ATG16 multimer to generate an autophagosome.
