ATG3 APG3 APG3L Ubiquitin-like-conjugating enzyme ATG3 Autophagy-related protein 3 Protein PC3-96
Molecular Weight(MW)
35864 Da
Function
E2-like enzyme involved in autophagy and mitochondrial homeostasis. Catalyzes the conjugation of ATG8-like proteins (GABARAP, GABARAPL1, GABARAPL2 or MAP1LC3A) to phosphatidylethanolamine (PE). PE-conjugation to ATG8-like proteins is essential for autophagy. Preferred substrate is MAP1LC3A. Also acts as an autocatalytic E2-like enzyme, catalyzing the conjugation of ATG12 to itself, ATG12 conjugation to ATG3 playing a role in mitochondrial homeostasis but not in autophagy ATG7 (E1-like enzyme) facilitates this reaction by forming an E1- E2 complex with ATG3
Tissue Specificity
Widely expressed, with a highest expression in heart, skeletal muscle, kidney, liver and placenta
Polyclonal antibody AP1807a was used in Western blot to detect human APG3L in transfected 293 cells.
