Function

Ubiquitin-like modifier that plays a crucial role in antibacterial autophagy (xenophagy) through the selective binding of CALCOCO2 (PubMed:23022382). Recruits all ATG8 family members to infecting bacteria such as S.typhimurium (PubMed:23022382). May also play a role in aggrephagy, the macroautophagic degradation of ubiquitinated and aggregated proteins (PubMed:28404643).

Notes

ab249433 is the carrier-free version of Anti-LC3C antibody [EPR8076] ab167421.

Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.

This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production

For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.

Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.

This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

This product is compatible with the Maxpar® Antibody Labeling Kit from Fluidigm, without the need for antibody preparation. Maxpar® is a trademark of Fluidigm Canada Inc.

Activity summary

The protein LC3C also known as microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 gamma is part of the ATG8 family and is critical in the autophagy pathway. LC3C with a molecular mass of approximately 14.7 kDa participates in the formation of autophagosomes. This protein predominantly localizes in the cytoplasm and transitions to autophagosome membranes during autophagy. LC3C expression occurs in multiple tissues including the brain and liver indicating its broad role in cellular function.

Biological function summary

Microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 gamma acts as an important component in the autophagy process. It is part of a complex that involves other homologs of the LC3 protein family. LC3C interacts directly with phosphatidylethanolamine on autophagosome membranes contributing significantly to the expansion and sealing of these structures. This action is critical for cellular homeostasis and survival during nutrient deprivation.

Pathways

The protein LC3C is an integral part of the macroautophagy pathway. It associates with proteins such as p62 (SQSTM1) which delivers ubiquitinated cargo to autophagosomes. LC3C also interacts with Beclin-1 a protein involved in the initiation of autophagy. These interactions place LC3C within the autophagic machinery essential for lysosomal degradation and recycling of cellular components facilitating proper cellular function.

Associated diseases and disorders

Research indicates that microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 gamma relates to cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. In cancer altered LC3C levels can affect tumor cell survival and adaptation to stress associating with proteins such as PINK1 which regulates mitochondrial autophagy. In neurodegenerative diseases improper autophagy due to dysfunctional LC3C may contribute to the accumulation of damaged proteins leading to conditions like Parkinson's disease where LC3C interacts with parkin an important player in targeting dysfunctional mitochondria for removal through mitophagy.
