LC3-I/II is a protein involved in the process of autophagy, a cellular mechanism responsible for the degradation and recycling of damaged or unwanted components within the cell. This protein exists in two forms, LC3-I and LC3-II, which play a crucial role in the formation and maturation of autophagosomes, the vesicles that transport cargo to the lysosome for degradation. The measurement of the relative levels of LC3-I and LC3-II can provide insights into the activity and regulation of the autophagy process.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
