Protein Tag: N-Trx
Uniprot: Q9GZQ8
Accession: Q9GZQ8
Background: LC3A, also known as MAP1LC3A, is one of the light chain subunits that function together with both MAP1A and/or MAP1B. MAP1A and MAP1B are microtubule-associated proteins that mediate the physical interactions between microtubules and components of the cytoskeleton. MAP1A and MAP1B each consist of a heavy chain subunit and multiple light chain subunits. As a light chain subunit, MAP1LC3A has an important part in neuronal development and in maintaining the balance between neuronal plasticity and rigidity. MAP1LC3A is expressed as two alternatively spliced isoforms that are expressed in testis, brain, heart, liver, and skeletal muscle but are absent in thymus and peripheral blood leukocytes.
