| Immunogen | A synthesized peptide derived from human GABARAP GABARAP is cleaved at its carboxyl terminus, which leads to conjugation by either of the phospholipids phosphatidylethanolamine or phosphatidylserine. This processing converts GABARAP from a type I to a type II membrane bound form involved in autophagosome biogenesis. Processing of GABARAP involves cleavage by Atg4 family members followed by conjugation by the E1 and E2 like enzymes Atg7 and Atg3. |

Biological background
GABARAP (protein: Lysosome-associated membrane glycoprotein 2 (Lamp2)) is a commonly studied target in molecular and cellular biology. Functional context (as provided): The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex catalyzes the overall conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA and CO (2), and thereby links the glycolytic pathway to the tricarboxylic cycle. . Reported cellular localization context: Mitochondrion matrix. Tissue expression notes (as provided): Ubiquitous.
Research relevance and current trends
- Research context keywords from the source record include: Cell Biology,Neuroscience,Proteasome / Ubiquitin,Proteolysis/Ubiquitin,Adapters,Neurotransmission,Ligand-Gated Ion Channels,Receptors / Channels,Intracellular Signaling,Ub-Like Proteins.
- Current studies often focus on connecting target abundance/localization to pathway perturbations across models, tissues, and cell states.
- Quantitative and multiplexed assays (e.g., imaging + immunoblot panels) are commonly used to compare phenotypes across conditions and time-courses.
Common research applications
- Western blotting (WB): assess relative target abundance across samples, treatments, or time-points.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): evaluate spatial distribution of target-positive staining in tissue architecture.
- Immunofluorescence/ICC (IF/ICC): visualize subcellular localization patterns and cell-to-cell heterogeneity.
- Flow cytometry: quantify target-positive populations and compare shifts in marker distributions.
Workflow ideas (metafield): Validate GABARAP antibody specificity using KO/KD control samples (WB/IF/IHC as appropriate), Detect GABARAP expression by Western blot in cell or tissue lysates, Detect GABARAP in FFPE tissue sections by immunohistochemistry, Localize GABARAP by immunofluorescence/immunocytochemistry in cultured cells, Quantify GABARAP-positive cells by flow cytometry in single-cell suspensions
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Consider isoforms and post-translational modifications (PTMs) that may shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.
- Apparent molecular weight may vary by sample type and processing (observed MW: 18 kDa; calculated MW: 43296 MW).
- Control concepts: include appropriate negative controls (e.g., isotype, KO/KD samples) and orthogonal validation when feasible.
