Anti-LC3B

In 1X PBS, pH 7.4, with 0.09% sodium azide. MAP1A and MAP1B each consist of a heavy chain subunit and multiple light chain subunits. MAP1LC3B is one of the light chain subunits and can associate with either MAP1A or MAP1B. It is a Ubiquitin-like modifier involved in formation of autophagosomal vacuoles (autophagosomes). LC3B 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. Protein function: Ubiquitin-like modifier involved in formation of autophagosomal vacuoles (autophagosomes). 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. Promotes primary ciliogenesis by removing OFD1 from centriolar satellites via the autophagic pathway. [The UniProt Consortium]
