ATG101
Function
Autophagy factor required for autophagosome formation. Stabilizes ATG13, protecting it from proteasomal degradation.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the ATG101 family.
Cellular localization
- Cytoplasm
- Preautophagosomal structure
- Under starvation conditions, it is localized to puncate structures primarily representing the isolation membrane; the isolation membrane sequesters a portion of the cytoplasm resulting in autophagosome formation.
Alternative names
