Autophagy Related 10

Ubiquitin-like-conjugating enzyme ATG10 (ATG10) is a 220 amino acid protein which localizes to the cytoplasm and has a role in autophagy, specifically acting as an E2-like enzyme providing Atg recognition sites during autophagosome synthesis. ATG10 functions as an E2-like enzyme which catalyzes the conjugation of ATG12 to ATG5, which is required for autophagy. In addition, ATG10 interacts with ATG12 in human embryonic kidney cells in the presence of ATG7. ATG10 probably serves as an ATG5-recognition molecule. Furthermore, ATG10 has a role in adenovirus-mediated cell lysis.

ATG10 Human Recombinant produced in E. coli is a single polypeptide chain containing 243 amino acids (1-220) and having a molecular mass of 27.7 kDa.

ATG10 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
