Target description

Autophagy-related protein 9A (UniProt: Q7Z3C6; also known as APG9-like 1, ATG9) is encoded by the ATG9A (also known as APG9L1) gene (Gene ID: 79065) in human. ATG9A is a multi-pass membrane protein that is involved in autophagy and cytoplasm to vacuole transport vesicle formation. It plays a key role in the organization of the preautophagosomal structure/phagophore assembly site. Among core autophagy-related proteins, ATG9A is the only multi-spanning transmembrane protein. Both its N- and C-terminal domains are exposed to the cytoplasm. Its N-terminal region (aa 1-36) is important in its role in autophagosome formation and this region is required for both autophagy and its Golgi localization. This region also contains sorting motifs known as the di-acidic motif (aa 5-7), a tyrosine-based motif (aa 8-11), and a di-leucine-based motif (aa 22-27). In mammalian cells, ATG9A is mainly localized to the trans-Golgi network and the endosomal system. It is shown to cycle between them though vesicle trafficking. ATG9A travels through the trans-Golgi network and the endosomal system under nutrient-rich conditions, however, upon induction of autophagy it transiently localizes to the autophagosome. Under amino acid starvation or upon rapamycin treatment, it is shown to redistribute from a juxtanuclear clustered pool to a dispersed peripheral cytosolic pool. Mutant forms of ATG9A that lack both the tyrosine-based and di-leucine-based sorting motifs exhibit reduced Golgi localization and abnormal accumulation on the recycling endosomes under conditions of nutrient deprivation. This ZooMAb recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
