Anti-ATG7 Antibody, clone 1E15 ZooMAb^® Rabbit Monoclonal

Ubiquitin-like modifier-activating enzyme ATG7 (UniProt: O95352; also known as ATG12-activating enzyme E1 ATG7, Autophagy-related protein 7, APG7-like, hAGP7, Ubiquitin-activating enzyme E1-like protein) is encoded by the ATG7 (also known as APG7L) gene (Gene ID: 10533) in human. ATG7 is the E1-like activating enzyme that is involved in the 2 ubiquitin-like systems required for cytoplasm to vacuole transport and autophagy. It is widely expressed, especially in kidney, liver, lymph nodes and bone marrow. Its expression is reported to be upregulated by the transcription factor HSF1. ATG7 interacts with ATG3 and ATG12 and the ATG3-ATG7 complex plays a role in the conjugation of ATG12 to ATG5. The C-terminal region of ATG7 is shown to be essential for the dimerization and interaction with ATG3 and ATG12. Its N-terminal region contains a FAP motif (aa 15-17), which is essential for the formation of ATG7-ATG3 interaction. ATG7 is essential for hematopoietic stem cell maintenance and its absence from the hematopoietic lineage abolishes development of T and B cells. Three isoforms of ATG7 have been described that are produced by alternative splicing. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
