Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody targets ubiquitin-like modifier-activating enzyme ATG7 in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot and flow cytometry. The predicted molecular weight is 78.0 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 78 kDa.
ATG7 is the E1-like activating enzyme of both ubiquitin-like conjugation systems in autophagy. It activates ATG12 for transfer to ATG5 and activates LC3 family proteins for transfer to ATG3, making it essential for autophagosome formation and a common target in autophagy knockout studies.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL (Human, Mouse, Rat) |
|---|---|
| Flow cytometry (fixed cells) | 1–3 µg/1×106 cells (Human) |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human HeLa cells, human HepG2 cells, human K562 cells, human Jurkat cells, rat kidney tissue, mouse kidney tissue, mouse spleen tissue, mouse SP2/0 cells.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Samples with a confirmed signal (flow cytometry): HeLa cells.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide from the C-terminal region of human apg7. It differs from the mouse sequence at one residue and from the rat sequence at two residues.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places ubiquitin-like modifier-activating enzyme ATG7 in the cytoplasm and preautophagosomal structure. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Widely expressed, especially in kidney, liver, lymph nodes and bone marrow. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
