This is an affinity purified antibody produced by immunoaffinity chromatography using the immunizing peptide after immobilization to a solid phase. Reactivity occurs against human Apg7 protein. However, BLAST analysis indicates 100 % homology (12/12) for this protein from human, chimpanzee, mouse, rat, dog, and chicken sources. The core amino acids of the immunogen, G-D-S-T-R-D-R-T are 100 % identical (8/8) in D. melanogaster. Reactivity with Apg7 proteins from other sources is not known.
Purification
Immunoaffinity chromatography
Immunogen
This affinity purified antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding aa 558-569 of Human Apg7 protein.

unconjugated
Application Notes
This affinity purified antibody has been tested for use in ELISA (1: 15,000-1: 75,000) and byWestern blot (1: 500- 1: 2,000). Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by theend user. Expect a band approximately 78 kDa in size corresponding to human Apg7 bywestern blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract. Human Apg7 has been reported toform a homodimer at approximately 160 kDa. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Apg7 is the human gene product similar in homology to Pichia pastoris GSA7 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae Apg7. In the yeast, the protein appears to be required for fusion of peroxisomal and vaculuolar membranes. The protein shows homlogy to the ATP-binding and catalytic sites of the E1 ubiquitin activating enzymes.Synonyms: APG7-like, Autophagy-related protein 7, Ubiquitin-activating enzyme E1-like protein
