4922501H04Rik
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Predicted to enable microtubule binding activity; phosphatidylethanolamine binding activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cellular response to nitrogen starvation; intracellular signaling cassette; and macroautophagy. Predicted to act upstream of or within autophagy of mitochondrion. Located in autophagosome membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; heart; jaw; peripheral nervous system ganglion; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in glioblastoma. Orthologous to human MAP1LC3A (microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3 alpha).
