Background:

Two forms of LC3β , the cytosolic LC3-I and the membrane-bound LC3-II, are produced post-translationally. LC3-I is formed by the removal of the C-terminal 22 amino acids from newly synthesized LC3β , followed by the conversion of a fraction of LC3-I into LC3-II. LC3 enhances fibronectin mRNA translation in ductus arteriosus cells through association with 60S ribosomes and binding to an AU-rich element in the 3’ untranslated region of fibronectin mRNA. This facilitates sorting of fibronectin mRNA onto rough endoplasmic reticulum and translation. MAP LC3β may also be involved in formation of autophagosomal vacuoles. It is expressed primarily in heart, testis, brain and skeletal muscle.

Specificity:

LC3 (phospho-Thr50) polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of LC3A and LC3B protein only when phosphorylated at Thr50. This antibody also recognizes LC3C when phosphorylated at the corresponding residues.
