MyBioSource.com's GABARAPL2 Antibody is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody. This antibody has been shown to work in applications such as: ELISA, Immunohistochemistry, and Western Blot. The GABARAPL2 Antibody was generated using GABARAPL2 as the antigen and it reacts with Human, Mouse, and Rat.
Description
Function: Ubiquitin-like modifier involved in intra-Golgi traffic. Modulates intra-Golgi transport through coupling between NSF activity and SNAREs activation. It first stimulates the ATPase activity of NSF which in turn stimulates the association with GOSR1 (By similarity). Involved in autophagy. Plays a role in mitophagy which contributes to regulate mitochondrial quantity and quality by eliminating the mitochondria to a basal level to fulfill cellular energy requirements and preventing excess ROS production. Whereas LC3s are involved in elongation of the phagophore membrane, the GABARAP/GATE-16 subfamily is essential for a later stage in autophagosome maturation.
Subunit Structure: Monomer. Interacts with GABRG2, NSF, GOSR1 and beta-tubulin (By similarity). Interacts with ATG3, ATG7, ATG13 and ULK1. Interacts with TP53INP1 and TP53INP2. Interacts with TBC1D25. Directly interacts with SQSTM1 and BNIP3. Interacts with TECPR2 and PCM1. Interacts with TBC1D5 (PubMed:22354992). Interacts with TRIM5 (PubMed:25127057). Interacts with MEFV and TRIM21 (PubMed:26347139). Interacts with WDFY3 (PubMed:24668264).
Post-translational Modifications: The precursor molecule is cleaved by ATG4B to form the cytosolic form, GABARAPL2-I. This is activated by APG7L/ATG7, transferred to ATG3 and conjugated to phospholipid to form the membrane-bound form, GABARAPL2-II. ATG4B also mediates the delipidation required for GABARAPL1 recycling when autophagosomes fuse with lysosomes. The Legionella effector RavZ is a deconjugating enzyme that produces an ATG8 product that would be resistant to reconjugation by the host machinery due to the cleavage of the reactive C-terminal glycine.
Similarity: Belongs to the ATG8 family
