Anti-WIPI-2, clone 1B8.1 Antibody

WIPI-2, also known as Atg18, is involved in autophagy by regulating the assembly of mulitprotein complexes by presenting a 7-bladed propeller structure for interactions with phospholipids. Atg18 is a mammalian effector of PtdIns3P and is ubiquitously expressed in a variety of cell lines. Studies show that Atg18 is recruited to early autophagosomal structural formation along with Atg16 and ULK1, and Atg18 is required for the formation of LC3-positive autophagosomes.

Epitope: C-terminus

GST-tagged recombinant protein corresponding to the C-terminus of human WIPI-2.

Immunohistochemistry Analysis: A 1:50 dilution from a representative lot detected WIPI-2 in human pancreas tissue.
