This peptide corresponds to 18 amino acids near the center of human ATG14.
PEP-1495 can be used as a blocking peptide with polyclonal antibody PA5-34453.
ATG14 (Autophagy related protein homolog 14) is encoded by the ATG14 gene and is located on chromosome 14 in humans. It is also known as ATG14L or BARKOR (Beclin 1-associated autophagy-related key regulator). Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved process that involves recycling of misfolded cellular proteins and degradation of dysfunctional organelles. Autophagy is induced as a cellular response to nutrient stress which includes the formation of autophagosomes, fusion of these with the lysosome and formation of the autophagolysosome. The Class III PI3-Kinase, Vps34 and its interacting partner Beclin 1 have been shown to form a complex which specifically includes ATG 14 (type 1) or UVRAG (type 2). Atg 14 guides the type 1 complex to the preautophagosomal structure (PAS) and is critical for the initiation of autophagosome formation.
