Background

This gene encodes an E1-like activating enzyme that is essential for autophagy and cytoplasmic to vacuole transport. The encoded protein is also thought to modulate p53-dependent cell cycle pathways during prolonged metabolic stress. It has been associated with multiple functions, including axon membrane trafficking, axonal homeostasis, mitophagy, adipose differentiation, and hematopoietic stem cell maintenance. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

	Western blotting analysis using anti-ATG7 antibody (Cat#61177). Total cell lysates (30 μg) from various cell lines were loaded and separated by SDS-PAGE. The blot was incubated with anti-ATG7 antibody (Cat#61177, 1:5,000) and HRP-conjugated goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody (Cat#201, 1:20,000) respectively. Image was developed using NaQ™ ECL Substrate Kit (Cat#716).
	Western blotting analysis using anti-ATG7 antibody (Cat#61177). ATG7 expression in wild type (WT) and ATG7 shRNA knockdown (KD) 293T cells with 20 μg of total cell lysates. β-Tubulin serves as a loading control. The blot was incubated with anti-ATG7 antibody (Cat#61177, 1:5,000) and HRP-conjugated goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody (Cat#201, 1:20,000) respectively. Image was developed using NaQ™ ECL Substrate Kit (Cat#716).
	Flow cytometric analysis of ATG7 expression in HT-1080 cells using ATG7 antibody (Cat#61177, 1:2,000). Green, isotype control; red, ATG7.
	Immunocytochemical staining of HT-1080 cells with ATG7 antibody (Cat#61177, 1:1,000). Nuclei were stained blue with DAPI; ATG7 was stained magenta with Alexa Fluor® 647. Images were taken using Leica stellaris 5. Protein abundance based on laser Intensity and smart gain: Medium. Scale bar: 20 μm.
