Product Description: LC3B antibody recognizes LC3B, an autophagosomal membrane structural protein with a predicted molecular weight of 14.7 kDa. LC3B protein is a member of the highly conserved Atg8 protein family, which encompasses the LC3 and GABARAP subfamilies. The key function of LC3B involves autophagy substrate selection during autophagosome formation. Therefore, LC3B antibody is of great utility for the study of autophagosome biogenesis.

Background: The product of this gene is a subunit of neuronal microtubule-associated MAP1A and MAP1B proteins, which are involved in microtubule assembly and important for neurogenesis. Studies on the rat homolog implicate a role for this gene in autophagy, a process that involves the bulk degradation of cytoplasmic component. [provided by RefSeq]
