Description: Beclin-1, also known as also known as ATG6 or VPS30 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BECN1 gene. Beclin-1 and its binding partner class III phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), also named Vps34, are required for the initiation of the formation of the autophagosome in autophagy. This gene participates in the regulation of autophagy and has an important role in development, tumorigenesis, and neurodegeneration. Schizophrenia is associated with low levels of Beclin-1 in the hippocampus of the affected which causes diminished autophagywhich in turn results in increased neuronal cell death. It has been found that beclin-1 can promote autophagy in autophagy-defective yeast with a targeted disruption of apg6/vps30, and in human MCF7 breast carcinoma cells.
Immunogen: Recombinant human protein (amino acids M1-S354) was used as the immunogen for the BECN1 antibody.
Storage: After reconstitution, the BECN1 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20 °C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
