Anti-LC3A, clone 3J12 ZooMAb, Cat. No. ZRB1125, is a recombinant Rabbit monoclonal antibody that specifically targetsLC3A and has been tested for use in Affinity Binding Assay, Immunocytochemistry, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin), and Western Blotting.

Microtubule-associated proteins 1A/1B light chain 3A (UniProt: Q9H492; also known as Autophagy-related protein LC3A, Autophagy-related ubiquitin-like modifier LC3A, MAP1 light chain 3-like protein 1, MAP1A/MAP1B light chain 3 A, MAP1A/MAP1B LC3 A, Microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 alpha) is encoded by the MAP1LC3A gene (Gene ID: 84557) in human. LC3s are structural proteins of autophagosomal membranes and are widely used as biomarkers of autophagy. They are ubiquitously distributed in all eukaryotes and are expressed as three splice variants known as LC3A, LC3B, and LC3C. LC3A is mainly localized to perinuclear and nuclear regions, LC3B is evenly distributed throughout the cytoplasm and is also localized in the nucleolar regions, and LC3C is shown to be located in the cytoplasm and strongly in the nuclei. Two variants (v1 and v2) of LC3A have been described that have different transcriptional start sites. Nuclear LC3A is shown to co-localize with Beclin-1. All three LC3s show a conserved region that is required for autophagosome formation. This ZooMAb recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
