General description

Atg18, also known as WIPI-2, is involved in autophagy by regulating the assembly of mulitprotein complexes by presenting a 7-bladed propeller structure for interactions with phospholipids. Atg18 is a mammalian effector of PtdIns3P and is ubiquitously expressed in a variety of cell lines. Studies show that Atg18 is recruited to early autophagosomal structural formation along with Atg16 and ULK1, and Atg18 is required for the formation of LC3-positive autophagosomes.

Specificity

This antibody recognizes Atg18 at the C-terminus.

Immunogen

Epitope: C-terminus
Linear peptide corresponding to the C-terminus of human Atg18.

Application

Immunohistochemistry Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution from a representative lot detected Atg18 in human colorectal adenocarcinoma tissue.

β-propellers that bind polyphosphoinositides (PROPPINs) are an autophagy-related protein family conserved throughout eukaryotes. The PROPPIN family includes Atg18, Atg21 and Hsv2 in yeast and WD-repeat protein interacting with phosphoinositides (WIPI)1-4 in mammals. Mutations in the WIPI genes are associated with
