| Function |
Required for selective autophagy (aggrephagy) but not for autophagic degradation of bulk cytospol in response to starvation. Involved in the formation and degradation of cytoplasmic polyubiquitin-containing bodies (p62 bodies, ALIS/aggresome-like induced structures). May play a role as adaptor or scaffolding protein by promoting the association of the E3-like ligase ATG12-ATG5-ATG16L and LC3 to ubiquitinated target substrate. The association with GABARAP is required for its recruitment to LC3B-positive p62 bodies suggesting a role in targeting certain p62 structures for clearance. Involved in midbody ring degradation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20168092, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20417604, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24128730}.

| Subcellular Location |
Nucleus membrane. Cytoplasm. Nucleus, PML body. Membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Note=Colocalizes with autophagic structures in starved cells. Shuttles between nucleus and cytoplasm; translocation from the nucleus to cytoplasmic polyubiquitin-containing bodies upon cellular stress is dependent on SQSTM1.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Ubiquitous. Expressed in osteoclast and their mononuclear precursors (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15292400, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20971078}.
