Predicted to enable Atg8-family conjugating enzyme activity. Involved in T-tubule organization; cellular response to starvation; and macroautophagy. Located in autophagosome and cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including adult head; central brain primordium; embryonic/larval garland cell; embryonic/larval midgut primordium; and ganglia. Orthologous to human ATG3 (autophagy related 3).
FB Description
Autophagy-related 3 (Atg3) encodes a protein involved in multiple autophagy processes such as autophagosome assembly, cellular response to starvation, and glycophagy.
