Plant ATG9 is most likely N-glycosylated, and glycosylated membrane proteins can migrate as more than one form in SDS-PAGE (smear); the protein most likely forms functional dimers which could be detected also after western blotting. Usage of microsomal fraction is highly recommended.
Autophagy-related protein 9 (ATG9) is an essential protein in plant autophagy and plays a crucial role in plant nutrient cycling. Alternative name :AtAPG9.
