MAP1LC3A ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3 alpha, which is encoded by the MAP1LC3A gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be a ubiquitin-like modifier involved in formation of autophagosomal vacuoles (autophagosomes). The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 121 residues, a mass of 14.3 kDa, and is a member of the ATG8 protein family. It is known to be localized in the cytoplasmic vesicles and cytoplasm and is notably expressed in heart, brain, liver, skeletal muscle and testis but absent in thymus and peripheral blood leukocytes. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally cleaved and phosphorylated. Other alias names for this target include MAP1 light chain 3-like protein 1, MAP1A/1B light chain 3 A, MAP1A/MAP1B LC3 A, MAP1A/MAP1B light chain 3 A, and microtubule-associated proteins 1A/1B light chain 3A.
There are MAP1LC3A ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 7.813 pg/mL and as high as 100 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
