Application

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

ATG7 (autophagy related 7) gene encodes an E1-like activating enzyme that plays a role in the conjugation of a protein Atg12 to Atg5 required for autophagy. It also activates Atg8 proteins for their conjugation with phosphatidylethanolamine. Atg7 functions for cytoplasm to vacuole transport (Cvt) and autophagy. The FAP motif of Atg7 facilitates the formation of the ATG3-LC3 E2-substrate intermediate via its interaction with Atg3 and functions in E2-substrate reaction of LC3 (microtubule-associated protein 1A/1B-light chain 3) lipidation. It mediates autophagic death induced by caspase-8 inhibition.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

ATG7 is an autophagy-related E1-like enzyme that is essential for two ubiquitination-like reactions, ATG12-conjugation and LC3-lipidation. The existence of functional sequences at the amino-terminal region of human ATG7 remains uncertain. Mutational analyses of ATG7 revealed that both mutant ATG7ΔFAP lacking
