| Function |
Plays an essential role in autophagy: interacts with ATG12-ATG5 to mediate the conjugation of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) to LC3 (MAP1LC3A, MAP1LC3B or MAP1LC3C), to produce a membrane-bound activated form of LC3 named LC3-II. Thereby, controls the elongation of the nascent autophagosomal membrane. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12665549, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24553140, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24954904}.

| Subcellular Location |
Cytoplasm. Preautophagosomal structure membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24954904}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000305}. Note=Recruited to omegasomes membranes by WIPI2. Omegasomes are endoplasmic reticulum connected strutures at the origin of preautophagosomal structures. Localized to preautophagosomal structure (PAS) where it is involved in the membrane targeting of ATG5. Localizes also to discrete punctae along the ciliary axoneme. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24954904}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Widely expressed. In the liver, isoform 2 is highly expressed and isoform 1 is weakly expressed. Isoform 3 is expressed in the brain. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12665549}.
