Anti-beclin 1, autophagy related, pseudogene 1 antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the beclin 1, autophagy related, pseudogene 1 antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the BECN2 gene, which encodes beclin 2. This protein is known to function in autophagy pathways and carbohydrate metabolism and homeostasis, among other biological roles. The human version of beclin 1, autophagy related, pseudogene 1 has a canonical amino acid length of 431 residues and a protein mass of 48.2 kilodaltons. It is reported to be localized in the cytoplasm of cells. Other names for this target antigen include Beclin-1-like protein 1 and beclin-1 autophagy-related pseudogene 1.
