Beclin-1 Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogène
Beclin-1 antibody was raised against a 17 amino acid synthetic peptide from near the amino terminus of human Beclin-1. The immunogen is located within amino acids 40 - 90 of Beclin-1.
Beclin-1 antibody can be used for the detection of Beclin-1 by Western blot at 0.5 - 2 μ,g/mL. Antibody can also be used for immunohistochemistry starting at 2 μ,g/mL. For immunofluorescence start at 20 μ,g/mL.
Antibody validated: Western Blot in human samples, Immunohistochemistry in human, mouse, and rat samples and Immunofluorescence in human and mouse samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.

(Beclin 1, Autophagy Related (BECN1))
Beclin-1 Antibody: Autophagy, the process of bulk degradation of cellular proteins through an autophagosomic-lysosomal pathway is important for normal growth control and may be defective in tumor cells. Beclin-1, a coiled-coil Bcl-2-interacting protein homologous to the yeast autophagy gene apg6, is a mammalian autophagy gene that can inhibit tumorigenesis and is expressed at reduced levels in human breast carcinoma, suggesting that defects in autophagy proteins may contribute to the development or progression of tumors. Bcl-2 can bind to Beclin-1 and inhibit Beclin-1-dependent autophagy in yeast and mammalian cells, suggesting that Bcl-2 functions as an anti-autophagy protein as well as an anti-apoptotic protein, which helps maintain autophagy at levels that are more compatible with cell survival rather than cell death.
