Related Product Information for anti-Ambra1 antibody
Autophagy, the process of bulk degradation of cellular proteins through an autophagosomic-lysosomal pathway is important for normal growth control and may be defective in tumor cells. It is involved in the preservation of cellular nutrients under starvation conditions as well as the normal turnover of cytosolic components. Beclin-1, a principal regulator of autophagosome formation, is in turn regulated by Ambra1. Ambra1 associates with Beclin-1 through a region near its center as determined by yeast two-hybrid assay. Null mutations in this gene in mice resulted in embryonic lethality with severe neural tube defects associated with autophagy impairment, accumulation of ubiquitinated proteins, unbalanced cell proliferation and excessive apoptotic death. Furthermore, down-regulation of Ambra1 in cultured cells though RNA interference decreased the level of rapamycin- and nutrient starvation-induced autophagy. Multiple isoforms of Ambra1 are known to exist.
Product Categories/Family for anti-Ambra1 antibody
Uniprot Description
AMBRA1: a WD40 protein that regulates autophagy and development of the nervous system. A highly conserved vertebrate protein whose expression is mostly confined to the neuroepithelium during early neurogenesis. Involved in autophagy in controlling protein turnover during neuronal development, and in regulating normal cell survival and proliferation. Interacts with ATG6. Forms a complex with ATG6 and PIK3C3. Its functional inactivation in mouse is lethal in utero (starting from embryonic day 14.5), leading to severe neural tube defects associated with autophagy impairment, accumulation of ubiquitinated proteins, and excessive apoptosis. Hyperproliferation followed by a wave of caspase-dependent cell death was the earliest detectable abnormality in the developing neuroepithelium. Five isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The Ambra1 ambra1 (Catalog #
AAA9405871) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Ambra1 Antibody reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Ambra1 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EIA), Western Blot (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the Ambra1 ambra1 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process.
It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of
"Ambra1, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of
the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always
suggest centrifuging these vials
to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to
opening. Please be advised that
certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an
additional dry ice fee may also be
required.
