Scientific context
Light chain 3 (LC3) is a microtubule-associated protein with an approximate molecular mass of 17kDa, and can be found ubiquitously throughout mammalian tissue. LC3 plays a role in autophagy; once the autophagic process is initiated in a cell, LC3 is conjugated to phosphatidylethanolamine to form LC3-II. This molecule is recruited to the autophagosome at the time of fusion with lysosomes, and LC3-II in autolysosomal lumen is degraded. Therefore, monitoring LC3 is an important tool for detecting autophagy and autophagy-related processes. LC3A is one of three isoforms which exhibits abundant expression in the heart, brain, liver, skeletal muscle, and testis but is absent in thymus and peripheral blood leukocytes.

Description
This antibody needs to be stored at + 4°C in a fridge short term in a concentrated dilution. Freeze thaw will destroy a percentage in every cycle and should be avoided. Antibody for research use.
-
Test
StressMark antibodies supplies antibodies that are for research of human proteins.
-
Properties
Human proteins, cDNA and human recombinants are used in human reactive ELISA kits and to produce anti-human mono and polyclonal antibodies. Modern humans (Homo sapiens, primarily ssp. Homo sapiens sapiens). Depending on the epitopes used human ELISA kits can be cross reactive to many other species. Mainly analyzed are human serum, plasma, urine, saliva, human cell culture supernatants and biological samples.

About
Polyclonals can be used for Western blot, immunohistochemistry on frozen slices or parrafin fixed tissues. The advantage is that there are more epitopes available in a polyclonal antiserum to detect the proteins than in monoclonal sera. Rabbits are used for polyclonal antibody production by StressMark antibodies. Rabbit antibodies are very stable and can be stored for several days at room temperature. StressMark antibodies adds sodium azide and glycerol to enhance the stability of the rabbit polyclonal antibodies. Anti-human, anti mouse antibodies to highly immunogenic selected peptide sequences are" monoclonal like" since the epitope to which they are directed is less than 35 amino acids long.
