Background	Autophagy is an alternative process of proteasomal degradation for some long-lived proteins or organelles. Alterations in the autophagic-lysosomal compartment have been linked to neuronal death in many neurodegenerative disorders as well as in transmissible neuronal pathologies (prion diseases). Genetic studies in yeast have shown that Autophagy-defective Gene-8 (Atg-8) represents a specific marker for autophagy. Among the four families of mammalian Atg8-related proteins only LC3 (microtubule-associated protein1 light chain 3) is expressed at sufficient high levels and efficiently recruited to autophagic vesicles in cells and tissues. During autophagy the cytoplasmic form, LC3-I is processed and recruited to autophagosomes, where LC3-II is generated by site specific proteolysis near to the C-terminus. Autophagic vacuoles have been also reported frequently in cardiomyopathies or muscle cells exposed to different experimental settings.
Synonyms	MAP1LC3B, MAP1A/MAP1B, Map1lc3b, Map1alc3, Map1lc3
Note	Molecular Weight: 18 kDa (LC3-I), 16 kDa (LC-II) Protocol: Positive Control: Cell lysate from untreated Neuro 2A cells, brain endothelioma (Mouse) Format: Lyophilized cell lysate from serum starved Neuro 2A. Reconstitution: Restore by addition of 200 µl H2O. After complete solubilization add 200 µl 2x SDS-PAGE sample buffer, mix and incubate at 90°C for 5 min. Application: The positive control cell lysate is recommended for immunoblot applications. 20 µl of positive control cell lysate correspond to ca. 20.000 cells. Use 20 µl/lane (mini gel) for HRPO/ECL detection of the target proteins. Please NOTE: The lyophilized cell lysates conatin SDS and are not recommended for applications with native proteins such as in immunoprecipitation. Storage: Aliquote reconstituted product and store frozen. Avoid repeated fereezing and thawing.
