Autophagy protein 4C Recombinant Protein

This recombinant protein can be used for biological assays. For research use only.

Store at -20°C, stable for 6 months after receipt.
Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

Cysteine Protease ATG4C (ATG4C) belongs to the peptidase C54 family. It is required for autophagy, which cleaves the C-terminal part of either MAP1LC3, GABARAPL2 or GABARAP, allowing the liberation of form I. A subpopulation of form I is subsequently converted to a smaller form which is considered to be the phosphatidylethanolamine (PE)-conjugated form, and has the capacity for the binding to autophagosomes. ATG4C is a cytoplasmic protein and high expressed in skeletal muscle, liver, testis and heart. ATG4C can be inhibited by N-ethylmaleimide.

Supplied as a 0.2 um filtered solution of 20mM TrisHCl, 100mM NaCl, 10% Glycerol, pH 8.0. It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 ug/ml.
