Introduction
To respond to environmental changes of cellular nutrient insufficiency, cells trigger autophagy cooperating autophagosomes and lysosomes to maintain energy homeostasis. Dysfunction of this cellular catabolic process involves serious diseases such as liver disease and neurodegeneration diseases. The transcription factor EB (TFEB) is a master gene for lysosomal biogenesis. It regulates expression of over 100 autophagy and lysosomal genes. TFEB has basic helix-loop-helix and leucine zipper domains, which places it in the micropthalmia-transcription factor E (MiT/TFE) subfamily along with TFE3, TFEC and MITF. In normal situations, TFEB is phosphorylated through pathways related with mTOR and MAPK and stays in cytoplasm. Upon stimulation of starvation of nutrients, the TFEB is activated by loss of phosphrylation and translocates into the nuclear where it binds to a CLEAR (Coordinated Lysosomal Expression and Regulation) consensus DNA sequence in the promoters of lysosomal genes to regulate expression of downstream genes.

Storage/Stability
Upon receipt, the positive control should be removed and stored at -20° or -80°C. The remainder of the kit can be stored for up to 6 months at 2-8°C from the date of shipment. Opened Microplate Wells or reagents may be stored for up to 1 month at 2° to 8°C. Return unused wells to the pouch containing desiccant pack, reseal along entire edge.
Note: The kit can be used within one year if the whole kit is stored at -20°C upon receipt. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
