|
| Function |
Early component of the autophagy machinery being involved in formation of preautophagosomal structures and their maturation into mature phagosomes in response to phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns3P). May bind PtdIns3P. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20505359}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Preautophagosomal structure membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20505359, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21564513, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22456507, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23916833}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20505359, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21564513, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22456507}; Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20505359, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21564513, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22456507}. Note=Localizes to omegasomes membranes which are endoplasmic reticulum connected strutures at the origin of preautophagosomal structures. Enriched at preautophagosomal structure membranes in response to PtdIns3P. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24954904}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Ubiquitously expressed (at protein level). Highly expressed in heart, skeletal muscle and pancreas. Expression is down-regulated in pancreatic and in kidney tumors. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15602573, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20505359}.
