Hintergrund
Autophagy is the process by which endogenous proteins and damaged organelles are destroyed intracellularly. Autophagy is postulated to be essential for cell homeostasis and cell remodeling during differentiation metamorphosis non-apoptotic cell death and aging. Reduced levels of autophagy have been described in some malignant tumors and a role for autophagy in controlling the unregulated cell growth linked to cancer has been proposed. This gene encodes a member of the autophagin protein family. The encoded protein is also designated as a member of the C-54 family of cysteine proteases. Alternate transcriptional splice variants encoding the same protein have been characterized. Cysteine protease required for autophagy which cleaves the C-terminal part of either MAP1LC3 GABARAPL2 or GABARAP allowing the liberation of form I. A subpopulation of form I is subsequently converted to a smaller form (form II). Form II with a revealed C-terminal glycine is considered to be the phosphatidylethanolamine (PE)-conjugated form and has the capacity for the binding to autophagosomes. ENZYME REGULATION: Inhibited by N-ethylmaleimide. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Highly expressed in skeletal muscle heart liver and testis.
