Rabbit anti-Human GABARAPL2 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P60520

Target Species

Human

Target Name

GABARAPL2

Target Full Name

Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor-associated protein-like 2

Target Function

Ubiquitin-like modifier involved in intra-Golgi traffic. Modulates intra-Golgi transport through coupling between NSF activity and SNAREs activation. It first stimulates the ATPase activity of NSF which in turn stimulates the association with GOSR1. Involved in autophagy. 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.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasmic vesicle, autophagosome. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Golgi apparatus.

Target Protein Families

ATG8 family

Target Tissue Specificity

Ubiquitous. Expressed at high levels in the brain, heart, prostate, ovary, spleen and skeletal muscle. Expressed at very low levels in lung, thymus and small intestine.

Target Research Area

Transport, Cancer

Target Synonyms

Target Background

Enables ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of proteasomal protein catabolic process and protein localization to endoplasmic reticulum. Located in Golgi membrane and autophagosome membrane.
