'''Autophagy-related proteins''' (Atg) function in autophagosome formation from the pre-autophagosomal structure (PAS). The phagosomes perform protein degradation under starvation. Autophagy is the process of forming a vacuole around proteins or nucleic acids destined to be broken down. This vacuole is a double membrane enclosure called phagophore. Atgs have non-autophagic functions as well as they are involved in cell survival and apoptosis.<ref>PMID:26382870</ref> So far 34 Atgs have been identified in yeast. <br />
