Background: LC3B

Autophagy (macroautophagy) is a catabolic process which targets intracellular components such as proteins and organelles for degradation. Originally described as a bulk degradation process, current research supports its selective nature (1). Selective autophagy targets specific cellular components for degradation including the endoplasmic reticulum (2) (ER-phagy), mitochondria (3) (mitophagy), peroxisomes (3) (pexophagy), ribosomes (4) (ribophagy) and bacteria (5) (xenophagy). Autophagy relies on a newly formed phagophore, a membrane structure which elongates, sequesters cellular content, and fuses to form a double membrane vesicle known as the autophagosome. Fusion of autophagosomes with lysosomes gives rise to the autophagolysosome, where cellular components are degraded by lysosome hydrolases (1).

Autophagic flux is supported by autophagy-related proteins (Atgs) initially identified in yeast (6,7). The core autophagy machinery is comprised of 17 Atg proteins that play specific roles in autophagosome formation. Among these Atg proteins, Atg8 is not only involved in autophagosome formation but also functions in cargo selection. In mammals, several Atg8 homologues have been identified including microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 alpha, beta and gamma - LC3A, LC3B, and LC3C (8) respectively, as well as GABA type A receptor-associated protein (GABARAP), GABARAP-Like1, and GABARAP-Like2 (9). LC3 (predicted molecular weight 14kD) is ubiquitously expressed and undergoes posttranslational processing after synthesis. First, the cysteine protease Atg4 cleaves a carboxy terminal sequence to generate the cytosolic form LC3-I. Next, E1-like (Atg7) and E2-like (Atg3) enzymes conjugate phosphatidylethanolamine to the newly exposed carboxyterminal glycine, generating LC3-II. Finally, the Atg12-Atg5-Atg16L1 complex participates in LC3 lipidation and autophagosome formation (10). LC3B-I to LC3B-II conversion correlates with autophagosome number and is considered the best marker to monitor autophagy.

FAQs for LC3B Antibody (1251A) - Azide and BSA Free

Showing  1 - 5 of 6 FAQs Showing All

  • Q: Can you recommend a good HRP conjugated secondary antibody for this product?

    A:

    We recommend secondary antibody NB7160 for use with LC3B Antibody (NB100-2220).

  • Q: Can you recommend a positive control (like a recombinant LC3 purified protein) for LC3B antibody NB100-2220? I am using the antibody on a western blot of mouse tissue.

    A:

    We recommend NBP1-45308 which is a full length protein that can be used for WB with NB100-2220.

     

  • Q: Does this antibody recognize LC3A or LC3C too?

    A: No; this antibody is specific for LC3B and is not expected to cross-react with LC3A or LC3C.

  • Q: Hello, somewhere on the LC3B antibody page I read it is recommended to use a 0.2uM membrane for western blot?

    A: Yes, because LC3B-I is about 14-15 kDa and LC3B-II is even even smaller, the protein may slip through the 0.45 uM membrane and be lost during blotting. However, there has been success using 0.45 uM membranes; a 0.2 uM membrane is something to consider if no signal is detected.

  • Q: What is the difference in localization for LC3-I and LC3-II?

    A: LC3-I is cytoplasmic, whereas LC3-II binds to the autophagic membranes.

  • Q: What is the utility of a blocking peptide? Can you recommend a blocking peptide for this LC3B antibody NB100-2220?

    A:

    If you are interested in using a blocking peptide for this antibody, we recommend NB100-2220PEP.

    NB100-2220PEP is essentially the exact immunogen of our NB100-2220 antibody and you may use it to perform a blocking experiment to show the specificity of this antibody.

    Blocking experiments show that the band that seen and blocked upon treating the antibody with blocking peptide is the specific band detected by the antibody NB100-2220.

  • Q: What is the difference in localization for LC3-I and LC3-II?

    A: LC3-I is cytoplasmic, whereas LC3-II binds to the autophagic membranes.

  • Q: What is the utility of a blocking peptide? Can you recommend a blocking peptide for this LC3B antibody NB100-2220?

    A:

    If you are interested in using a blocking peptide for this antibody, we recommend NB100-2220PEP.

    NB100-2220PEP is essentially the exact immunogen of our NB100-2220 antibody and you may use it to perform a blocking experiment to show the specificity of this antibody.

    Blocking experiments show that the band that seen and blocked upon treating the antibody with blocking peptide is the specific band detected by the antibody NB100-2220.
