Application

Anti-ATG10 antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for western blotting at a concentration of 1µg/mL.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Atg10 is an E2-like enzyme that facilitates the addition of ubiquitination modifications essential for autophagosome formation. It catalyzes the conjugation of ATG12 to ATG5, which is essential for proper localization of ATG8 to the preautophagosomal structure (PAS). Further, Atg10 also plays a role in modifying the soluble form of LC3 to the membrane-bound form during Atg12 conjugation.

General description

ATG10 [autophagy related 10 homolog (S. cerevisiae)] or APG10 gene encodes a protein necessary for autophagy in yeast. Autophagy is a catabolic cellular event that includes cell death of superfluous or dysfunctional cellular components, cell differentiation and aging. It is also crucial for the maintenance of amino acid levels and protein synthesis under nitrogen starvation and is enhanced under certain conditions such as hormonal stimulation and drug treatments.
