rat ATG4B Adenovirus
This is an Adenovirus expressing Rat Atg4b.
ADV-294229
Ad-r-ATG4B
Ready-to-use Adenovirus expressing Rat Atg4b (autophagy related 4B, cysteine peptidase). Available with optional GFP reporter or cell-specific promoter.
Gene Reference Data
Alternate Names
Apg4b
Description (Vector)
Cysteine protease required for autophagy, which cleaves the C-terminal part of either MAP1LC3, GABARAPL2 or GABARAP, allowing the liberation of form I. A subpopulation of form I is subsequently converted to a smaller form (form II). Form II, with a revealed C-terminal glycine, is considered to be the phosphatidylethanolamine (PE)-conjugated form, and has the capacity for the binding to autophagosomes.

About Storage Conditions
All our viral products should be kept at -80°C. At this temperature, the virus will remain stable for 6-12 months (and in some cases, up to 2 years). Once thawed, the product can be stored at 4°C for 2-3 weeks without significant loss of biological activity.
We recommend aliquoting your vectors into low protein binding tubes upon receipt. This helps avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, as well as prevent loss of virus. To maintain accurate titer, aliquot in at least 20ul per tube.
