ATG7 blocking peptide

ATG7 Antibody (C-term) Blocking peptide

• Gene Names: ATG7; GSA7; APG7L; APG7-LIKE
• Synonyms: ATG7; ATG7 Antibody (C-term) Blocking peptide; Ubiquitin-like modifier-activating enzyme ATG7; ATG12-activating enzyme E1 ATG7; Autophagy-related protein 7; APG7-like; hAGP7; Ubiquitin-activating enzyme E1-like protein; APG7L; ATG7 blocking peptide

• Specificity: The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody was selected from the C-term region of human Autophagy APG7L. A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay.
• Form/Format: The synthetic peptide was lyophilized with 100% acetonitrile and is supplied as a powder. Reconstitute with 0.1 ml deionized water for a final concentration of 1 mg/ml.
• Sequence Length: 703

• Cellular Location: Cytoplasm. Preautophagosomal structure. Note: Localizes also to discrete punctae along the ciliary axoneme and to the base of the ciliary axoneme
• Tissue Location: Widely expressed, especially in kidney, liver, lymph nodes and bone marrow.
• Preparation and Storage: Maintain refrigerated at 2-8 degree C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20 degree C.

Related Product Information for ATG7 blocking peptide

E1-like activating enzyme involved in the 2 ubiquitin- like systems required for cytoplasm to vacuole transport (Cvt) and autophagy. Activates ATG12 for its conjugation with ATG5 as well as the ATG8 family proteins for their conjugation with phosphatidylethanolamine. Both systems are needed for the ATG8 association to Cvt vesicles and autophagosomes membranes. Required for autophagic death induced by caspase-8 inhibition. Required for mitophagy which contributes to regulate mitochondrial quantity and quality by eliminating the mitochondria to a basal level to fulfill cellular energy requirements and preventing excess ROS production. Modulates p53/TP53 activity to regulate cell cycle and survival during metabolic stress. Plays also a key role in the maintenance of axonal homeostasis, the prevention of axonal degeneration, the maintenance of hematopoietic stem cells, the formation of Paneth cell granules, as well as in adipose differentiation.

NCBI Description

This gene encodes an E1-like activating enzyme that is essential for autophagy and cytoplasmic to vacuole transport. The encoded protein is also thought to modulate p53-dependent cell cycle pathways during prolonged metabolic stress. It has been associated with multiple functions, including axon membrane trafficking, axonal homeostasis, mitophagy, adipose differentiation, and hematopoietic stem cell maintenance. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]
