Related Product Information for anti-MAP1LC3A antibody
MAP1A and MAP1B are microtubule-associated proteins which mediate the physical interactions between microtubules and components of the cytoskeleton. MAP1A and MAP1B each consist of a heavy chain subunit and multiple light chain subunits. The protein encoded by this gene is one of the light chain subunits and can associate with either MAP1A or MAP1B. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Product Notes

The MAP1LC3A map1lc3a (Catalog #AAA28636) is an Antibody produced from Mouse and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The LC3 Antibody (APG8) reacts with Human, mouse, rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's LC3 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), ELISA (EIA). WB~~1:8000. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the MAP1LC3A map1lc3a for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "LC3, Monoclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.
