Anti-Phospho-Beclin-1 (Ser234) BECN1 Antibody

Primary Antibodies

51896 MW

Specific for endogenous levels of the ~60 kDa beclin1 protein phosphorylated at Ser234. Immunolabeling of the beclin-1 band is decreased in the beclin-1 alanine substitution mutant.

BECN1

Beclin-1 plays a key role in tumor suppression and autophagy. It has been suggested that autophagy proteins such as beclin-1 can inhibit tumorigenesis and that decreased expression of these proteins may contribute to the development of human malignancies (Liang et al., 1999). Beclin-1 has been shown to interact with 14-3-3 proteins through Akt-mediated phosphorylation at Ser-234 (Wang et al., 2012).

Plays a central role in autophagy (PubMed:23184933). Acts as core subunit of the PI3K complex that mediates formation of phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate; different complex forms are believed to play a role in multiple membrane trafficking pathways: PI3KC3-C1 is involved in initiation of autophagosomes and PI3KC3- C2 in maturation of autophagosomes and endocytosis. Involved in regulation of degradative endocytic trafficking and required for the abcission step in cytokinesis, probably in the context of PI3KC3-C2 (PubMed:20643123, PubMed:20208530). Essential for the formation of PI3KC3-C2 but not PI3KC3-C1 PI3K complex forms. Involved in endocytosis (PubMed:25275521). Protects against infection by a neurovirulent strain of Sindbis virus (PubMed:9765397). May play a role in antiviral host defense.
