Description
Product Characteristics:
Microtubule-associated MAPILC3A constitutes nearly half of the mass of all the microtubule associated proteins that copurify with brain microtubules. MAP1LC3A is one of three human orthologs of the rat Map1LC3, (named MAP1LC3A, MAP1LC3B, and MAP1LC3C). The three isoforms of human MAP1LC3 exhibit distinct expression patterns in different human tissues and also differ in their post-translation modifications. MAP1LC3A and MAP1LC3C are produced by the proteolytic cleavage after the conserved C-terminal Gly residue, MAP1LC3B does not undergo C-terminal cleavage and exists in a single modified form.

Target Information: MAP1A and MAP1B are microtubule-associated proteins which mediate the physical interactions between microtubules and components of the cytoskeleton. MAP1A and MAP1B each consist of a heavy chain subunit and multiple light chain subunits. The protein encoded by this gene is one of the light chain subunits and can associate with either MAP1A or MAP1B. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. The expression of variant 1 is suppressed in many tumor cell lines, suggesting that may be involved in carcinogenesis. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012]
