|
| Function |
Plays an important role in the autophagy pathway, which is the major intracellular degradation system by which cytoplasmic materials are packaged into autophagosomes and delivered to lysosomes for degradation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23435086}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Ubiquitously expressed, with high expression in skeletal muscle and heart. Weakly expressed in liver and placenta. Expression is down-regulated in pancreatic and in kidney tumors. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15602573}.
