Background:

Atg4D (autophagy-related gene 4D), also known as APG4D or AUTL4, is a 474 amino acid protein that localizes to the cytoplasm and belongs to the C-54 family of cysteine proteases. Expressed predominately in skeletal muscle, but also present in testis, Atg4D functions as a cysteine protease that is required for autophagy and functions to specifically cleave the C-terminal region of target proteins, thereby allowing the target proteins to bind to autophagosomes. The enzymatic activity of Atg4D is inhibited by Nethylmaleimide, a thiol reactive compound that is capable of modifying cystine residues in proteins and peptides.

Specificity:

ATG4D polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of ATG4D protein.
