Abcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.
It is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.
Lysate preparation: Our lysates are made using RIPA buffer to which we add a protease inhibitor cocktail and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (ratio: 300:100:10). This means that the protein of interest is denatured. If you require a native form of the protein please use the live cell version. Please refer to our lysis protocol for further details on how our lysates are prepared.
User storage instructions: Lyophilizate may be stored at 4°C. After reconstitution, store at -20°C for short-term storage or -80°C for long-term storage.

ATG4B is a cysteine protease also known as autophagin-1 with a molecular mass of approximately 45 kDa. It is involved in the autophagy process by cleaving ATG8 family proteins. This protease facilitates the lipidation of LC3 an essential component of the autophagosome membrane. You find ATG4B expressed in various tissues especially in the brain liver and muscle where it plays important roles in cellular maintenance.
ATG4B functions in the cellular autophagic machinery cleaving the C-terminal of ATG8 proteins. This processing is necessary for the conjugation to phosphatidylethanolamine and integration into autophagosomes. ATG4B is part of a larger autophagic complex that also includes other critical proteins like ATG7 and ATG3 helping prepare ATG8 proteins for autophagosome creation.
ATG4B participates in the autophagy pathway by refining the cargo processing mechanism. It interacts with the mTOR signaling pathway which influences cell survival and growth based on nutrient availability. The ATG4B enzyme is closely related to ATG7 in the pathway as both contribute to the maturation of autophagosomes.
ATG4B has significant links to cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. In cancer ATG4B activity affects tumor survival since cancer cells exploit autophagy for growth under stress conditions. In neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's alterations in ATG4B activity disrupt cellular homeostasis. This disruption connects to proteins like LC3 which are pivotal in neuron survival and function.
