General description

Monoclonal Anti-UVRAG (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the hybridoma UVRAG-11 produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with a synthetic peptide corresponding to a fragment of human UVRAG.
Ultraviolet irradiation resistance-associated gene (UVRAG) is a crucial autophagic tumor suppressor, encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 11q13.5. The encoded protein is characterized with four functional domains, such as proline-rich domain, a lipid-binding C2 domain, a Beclin1-binding coiled-coil domain (CCD) and a C-terminal domain involved in centrosome integrity and DNA damage repair.

Application

Monoclonal Anti-UVRAG antibody produced in mouse has been used in immunoprecipitation.
Monoclonal Anti-UVRAG antibody produced in mouse has been used in western blotting and immunohistochemistry.

Biochem/physiol Actions

UVRAG is positive regulator of the Beclin 1- class III phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI(3)KC3) complex. The tumor suppressor Beclin 1 forms a complex with PI(3)KC3, promoting autophagosome formation. UVRAG interacts with Beclin 1 through their coiled-coil domains and induces autophagy resultin in suppression of proliferation and tumorigenicity of human colon cancer cells. UVRAG is a tumor suppressor candidate.
Ultraviolet irradiation resistance-associated gene (UVRAG) is implicated in the regulation of intracellular membrane trafficking, including autophagy and chromosomal stability. The encoded protein regulates apoptosis by suppressing the BCL2-associated X protein (Bax) activity. Mutation in the gene has been observed in various types of human cancers, including microsatellite unstable colon carcinomas.

Target description

Anti-UVRAG, UV radiation resistance associated gene, complements the ultraviolet sensitivity of xeroderma pigmentosum group C cells and encodes a protein with a C2 domain. The protein activates the Beclin1-PI(3)KC3 complex, promoting autophagy and suppres

Autophagy dysregulation is implicated in metabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes. However, the mechanism by which the autophagy machinery regulates metabolism is largely unknown. Autophagy is generally considered a degradation process via lysosomes. Here, we unveil a metabolically important non-cell-autonomous
