Bio-Rad, AHP1651, ATG7 antibody

Rabbit anti Human ATG7 (C-Terminal) antibody recognizes human Autophagy-related protein 7, known also as Ubitiquin Activating Enzyme-E1 like Protein, ATG7, and APG7. ATG7 is a ~78 kDa cytoplasmic protein. In mammalian cells, ATG7 is essential for autophagy conjugation systems, autophagosome formation, and starvation-induced bulk degradation of proteins and organelles. Caspase-8 may alter ATG7 levels and thus the ATG7 program of autophagic cell death ( Yu et al. 2004 ). ATG7 is evolutionarily conserved exhibiting high homology within mammalian species. It expressed in wide range of tissues including kidney, liver, bone marrow and lymph nodes.
