General description

Activating molecule in BECN1-regulated autophagy protein 1 (AMBRA1) is a developmental protein that is involved in autophagy, differentiation and nuerogenesis. AMBRA1 regulates autophagy and development of the nervous system, normal cell survival and proliferation, and the control of protein turnover during neuronal development.

Specificity

This antibody recognizes the C-terminus of Ambra1. This antibody should recognize isoforms 1 through 5 based upon immunogen design.

Immunogen

Epitope: C-terminus
GST-tagged recombinant protein corresponding to the C-terminus of mouse Ambra1.

Application

Anti-Ambra1 Antibody is a rabbit polyclonal antibody, validated for use in western blotting.

Western Blotting Analysis: 0.5 µg/mL of a representative lot detected Ambra1 in 10 µg of HeLa cell lysate.
Western Blotting Analysis: 1 µg/mL of a representative lot detected Ambra1 in human cell lysates (HeLa & U87MG) and in mouse tissue homogenates (liver, kidney, and embryo), as well as exogenously expressed myc-Ambra1 in lysates from transfected HEK293 cells. (Courtesy of Dr. Sabrina Di Bartolomeo, Cecconi Lab at the Dulbecco Telethon Institute, Italy).
Western Blotting Analysis: Target specificity of a representative lot was confirmed by Western blotting analysis of Ambra1-knock mouse embryos and HeLa cells treated with Ambra1 siRNA. (Courtesy of Dr. Sabrina Di Bartolomeo, Cecconi Lab at the Dulbecco Telethon Institute, Italy).
Western Blotting Analysis: A representative lot detected decreased Ambra1 expression in tissue homogenates (kidney, liver, and lung) from Ambra1+/- mice when compared with tissue samples from wild-type mice. (Cianfanelli, V., et al. (2015). Nat. Cell Biol. 17(1):20-30).

Quality

Evaluated by Western Blotting in MCF7 cell lysate.

Western Blotting Analysis: 1 µg/mL of this antibody detected Ambra1 in 10 µg of MCF7 cell lysate.
