ATG5 (Autophagy Protein 5, APG5-like, Apoptosis-specific Protein, APG5L, ASP)
Description:
Atg5 (Autophagy protein 5) is required for autophagy. It conjugates to ATG12 and associates with isolation membrane to form cup-shaped isolation membrane and autophagosome. The conjugate detaches from the membrane immediately before or after autophagosome formation is completed. Atg5 may also play an important role in the apoptotic process, possibly within the modified cytoskeleton. Its expression is a relatively late event in the apoptotic process, occurring downstream of caspase activity.

Applications:
Suitable for use in Western Blot, Immunoprecipitation, Immunohistochemistry and Immunocytochemistry. Other applications not tested.

Immunocytochemistry: 1:100-1:250
Immunohistochemistry (paraffin): 1:100-1:250
Immunoprecipitation: 1:10
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
