Anti-ATG16L antibodies are used in antigen-specific immunodetection in biological samples. The target ATG16L is a known alias name of the protein autophagy related 16 like 1, encoded by the ATG16L1 gene in humans. This 607-amino acid residue protein is known to play an important role in both canonical and non-canonical autophagy: interacts with ATG12-ATG5 to mediate the lipidation to ATG8 family proteins (MAP1LC3A, MAP1LC3B, MAP1LC3C, GABARAPL1, GABARAPL2 and GABARAP). It is localized to the membrane, lysosomes and cytoplasm of the cell and features cleaved and phosphorylated post-translational modifications. It is reported to be widely expressed in many tissue types. Other synonyms for ATG16L include APG16L and ATG16A. Western Blot is a widely used application for the ATG16L antibodies listed below. In addition, ELISA is also a common application.
