• Target description: Autophagy-related protein 16-1 (UniProt: Q676U5; also known as APG16-like 1) is encoded by the ATG16L1 (also known as APG16L, UNQ9393/PRO34307) gene (Gene ID: 55054) in human. Autophagy is a highly regulated process that is involved in cell growth, development, and cell death. In this process cytoplasmic components are delivered to the lysosome in a very systematic manner for degradation. Dysregulated autophagy has been reported in several human pathophysiologic conditions. ATG16L1 is a homodimeric peripheral protein that plays an essential role in both canonical and non-canonical autophagy. It is responsible for the correct targeting of LC3 to form autophagosome membranes. It contains an N‐terminal domain that associates with ATG5 and ATG12, a central FIP200 and WIPI2b binding domain, and a C‐terminal WD40 domain (aa 320-607) with seven WD repeats. The ATG16L1-ATG5‐ATG12 complex has an E3‐Ubiquitin ligase‐like enzymatic activity, which is reported to be essential for lipidation of LC3 and for targeting of LC3 to membranes during canonical and non‐canonical autophagy. The central region in ATG16L1 that has binding sites for both FIP200 and WIPI2b is known as the FIP200 binding domain.  Deletion of this domain is shown to prevent ATG16L1 recruitment to form autophagosomes and inhibit the canonical autophagy response to amino acid starvation and bacterial infection. C-terminal WD repeats containing domain is essential for LC3 recruitment to endo-lysosomal membranes during non-canonical autophagy but is shown to be dispensable for canonical autophagy. ATG16L1 is also reported to regulate mitochondrial antiviral signaling (MAVS)-dependent type I interferon production and negatively regulates NOD1- and NOD2-driven inflammatory cytokine response. Five isoforms of ATG16L1 have been described that are produced by alternative splicing. This ZooMAb® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

• Physical form: Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS, 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 µL.
• Reconstitution: 300 µg/mL after reconstitution at 25 µL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.
• Storage and Stability: Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 µL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
• Other Notes: Concentration: Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for the lot-specific concentration.
