Anti-ATG5 (N-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit

synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 2-15 of human ATG5, conjugated to KLH via a C-terminal cysteine residue. The corresponding sequence is identical in rat and mouse.

Anti-ATG5 (N-terminal) antibody has been used:

• in immunoblotting
• in immunofluorescence
• in western blotting

Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below.
Western Blotting (1 paper)

Rabbit anti-ATG5 (N-terminal specific) was used for western blot analysis to detect the level of ATG5 in SK-N-MC cells after transduction with an adenovirus expressing a shRNA specific to ATG5.

Rabbit anti-ATG5 has been used for immunofluorescence and chemiluminescent western blot analyses.

Atg5 (Apg5) is a 32 kDa protein that is required for autophagy. Atg5 is covalently modified by Atg12, a ubiquitin-like modifier. The Atg12-Atg5-Atg16 complex thus formed, localizes to autophagosome precursors and regulates autophagosome formation. Studies have reported that Atg5 fragment that is formed by calpain cleavage has pro-apoptotic properties.

Rabbit anti-ATG5 (N-terminal) recognizes human, rat, and mouse Atg5-Atg12 complex.
