  • Scientific Description
    LC3, a mammalian homolog of yeast Atg8, is used as a marker for autophagic vesicles (autophagosomes) formed in the process of autophagy. Immediately after synthesis, LC3 is cleaved by Atg4 to form LC3-I. When autophagy is induced phosphatidylethanolamine is covalently linked to the C-terminal glycine of LC3-I to form membrane-bound LC3-II. Most LC3-II is thought to be present in autophagosomal membranes. Since autophagosomes are degraded by fusion with lysosomes, LC3-II itself is also degraded by autophagy. Therefore, it is generally accepted that the amount of LC3-II correlates well with the amount of autophagosomes. This antibody reacts with both LC3 isoforms (LC3-I and LC3-II) and shows good results in Western blot experiments.
