Target Information
| Target information | Microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (Map1LC3), commonly known as LC3, is the human homolog of yeast Atg8 and belongs to the ATG8 family of autophagy-related proteins. Human LC3 includes the closely related isoforms MAP1LC3A, MAP1LC3B, and MAP1LC3C, which undergo autophagy-associated post-translational processing and lipidation. LC3 proteins are commonly studied in autophagosome formation, autophagosomal membrane association, cargo sequestration, autophagic flux, selective autophagy, and stress-responsive protein turnover. MtoZ Biolabs offers the IP-MS Validated LC3 Polyclonal Antibody for enrichment of LC3 family proteins, including MAP1LC3A, MAP1LC3B, and MAP1LC3C, by immunoprecipitation before downstream LC-MS/MS analysis. This IP-MS validated LC3 Polyclonal Antibody can be used as an LC3 antibody validated by IP-MS, an LC3 IP antibody, and an LC3 antibody for immunoprecipitation in workflows applying LC3 antibody in IP-MS-based analysis of autophagosome-associated protein complexes, LC3-interacting proteins, and autophagy-related interaction networks. |

Antibody Validation Levels
To support different research goals, budgets, and evidence requirements, our antibodies are available with multiple validation levels. Each antibody undergoes IP-MS validation before delivery to confirm target-specific recognition and enrichment. For projects requiring additional confirmation, Western blot validation can be added to provide orthogonal evidence of target detection.
| Validation level | Included validation | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| IP-MS Only | Confirms target-specific enrichment by immunoprecipitation followed by mass spectrometry analysis. | IP-based protein enrichment and target specificity assessment. |
| Western Blot Only | Confirms target detection by Western blot under defined experimental conditions. | Routine target detection and expression-level assessment. |
| IP-MS + Western Blot | Combines mass spectrometry-based target enrichment evidence with Western blot-based detection evidence. | Customers requiring more comprehensive validation support. |

MtoZ Biolabs IP-MS Antibody Solutions
Traditional Antibody Supplier
Conventional workflowCustomers need to purchase small amounts of antibody for in-house testing
01Validation depends on customer-provided samples and workflows
02Suppliers usually stop support after product delivery
03Customers must find a separate provider for MS or interaction analysis
04Higher risk of repeated trial-and-error
