This ATG10 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 15~45 amino acids from the N-term of human APG10L.
Macroautophagy is the major inducible pathway for the general turnover of cytoplasmic constituents in eukaryotic cells, it is also responsible for the degradation of active cytoplasmic enzymes and organelles during nutrient starvation. Macroautophagy involves the formation of double-membrane bound autophagosomes which enclose the cytoplasmic constituent targeted for degradation in a membrane bound structure, which then fuse with the lysosome (or vacuole) releasing a single-membrane bound autophagic bodies which are then degraded within the lysosome (or vacuole). APG10 is an ATG12-conjugating enzyme (E2-like enzyme) that likely serves as an ATG5-recognition molecule. This protein interacts with MAP1LC3A. By interacting with MAP1LC3A, it plays a role in the conjugation of ATG12 to ATG5. APG10 also is able to directly interact either with ATG5 or ATG7.
